NIGHT LIGHT written and illustrated by Michael Emberley

Michael Emberley’s NIGHT LIGHT is an exquisite entry into young graphic novels by the writer-illustrator. It features Emberley’s adorable striped, horned creatures, a parent and child, who are participating in the time-honored bedtime read-aloud when there’s a blackout. The extraordinary loving parent climbs a long ladder into the sky to gather stars. Then the child’s room is too bright and the sky too dark for a sobbing bereft moon. The solution is pleasing in picture and word as the parent returns the stars, and the creatures find perfect night light on a roof illuminated by the returned stars as they happily share the pleasure of reading together. Find a link to this book in the purchase button below.
