Moving to a new place can be scary, especially at night-time, but this beautifully designed, very sweet picture book will help young readers to feel at home.
Amy is moving house with her dad and their dog, Pickle. She's not sure she likes her new house, or her new room - especially not at nighttime, when the shadows outside are scary and unusual. But kind new friends, a bedtime story and some very special stars soon help her to settle in.
Afraid of the Dark is a brilliant story for little ones who are about to move house, or for children who are afraid of the dark. It explores making new friends and feeling comfortable in new places.
The illustrations are really sweet, with a soft muted colour scheme that adds to this story's bedtime feel. I loved Amy's bunny, and my children and I would really like to visit her local library!
Afraid of the Dark is written by Sarah Shaffi and Isabel Otter and illustrated by Lucy Farfort
Thank you Little Tiger for sending me an advanced copy for review.
