Starred Review:

Night Creatures

Firefly

With intimate black-and-white illustrations and prose that reads like an incantation, this picture book seeks to banish the darkness of winter and summon the light of spring. Deep in the darkness of winter, a little girl must seek out, nurture, and protect every scrap of light and hope she can find to fight against the shadows—both real and metaphorical. Readers of all ages will be inspired to persevere through the winters of their lives, when light is scarce but worth fighting for.
