Eli's Night Light

Reach for this book when your child expresses a new or growing fear of the dark, or when the transition to bedtime has become a source of anxiety. While many books focus on the bedroom environment, Eli's Night Light helps a child look beyond their four walls to find comfort in the natural world. It follows young Eli as he discovers the various sources of light that exist even when the sun goes down: from the soft glow of the moon to the twinkling of distant stars. This rhythmic, poetic story is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2 to 5) because it validates their need for security while gently reframing the night as a place of wonder rather than worry. It is a soothing, low-stimulation read that models how a child can use their imagination and observation skills to find peace in the darkness.
