“A mesmerizing invitation to embrace night’s beauty—great for bedtime shelves and budding naturalists alike.”

– Kirkus starred review

Do You Know the Dark? published by Henry Holt Books for Young Readers, uses minimal text and traditionally created artwork to explore what is beautiful and fascinating about darkness, from dancing shadows to seeds growing underground, bioluminescence, deep sea beings, shooting stars and black holes. Grounded in darkness as a space of rest, regeneration and possibility, this book is a gentle companion for bed time and curious minds.

We will have a story reading, crafts, snacks and time for questions! This event is free to attend, open to all ages, and focused on being fun for kids. You can see a preview of the book at: https://us.macmillan.com/…/9781250392206/doyouknowthedark/
