A book about the noises one hears at night, lying in bed, on the cusp of falling asleep—clattering and clinking of dirty plates and dishes in the sink, the jangling of keys, the stillness of the road, the low rumbles of a passing train. And then come the sounds that signal the slow waking of the morning. Emily Rand captures the cold blue tones of inky night, with its darkness made comforting by its familiar sounds and with them, the promise of a new day. A lovely read to usher in bedtime.
In the Darkness of the Night was written and illustrated by Emily Rand and published by Tate. Out now in the UK and publishes on March 20th in the US.
