About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler or preschooler is expressing anxiety about the dark or asking what happens in the world while they are asleep. It serves as a gentle bridge between a busy day and a restful night, reframing the shadows of the backyard as a vibrant yet peaceful playground for nature. The story follows two young rabbits as they venture out of their burrow to explore, snack, and play under the moonlight. Monica Wellington's clean illustrations and simple, rhythmic prose provide a sense of security and rhythm perfect for the 2 to 5 age range. Beyond just a bedtime story, it introduces early science concepts about nocturnal animals and the natural world. It is an ideal choice for parents looking to foster a sense of wonder and safety in their child's environment, turning the 'scary' night into a magical, quiet space for animal friends.
