Night has fallen, and as we travel home with a little girl and her mother, we discover that the darkness is punctuated by all kinds of lights. There are streetlights as the two ride home on their bikes, and a porch light welcomes them into the house. By the light of a lantern and firelight the little girl, her dog, and her mother cook hot dogs on the grill on the back porch. Then, illuminated by candle light, the little family celebrates a birthday.
With just a few words, the creator of this book gives readers an inviting look at one family’s evening as they have their meal, play together, prepare for bed, and go sleep. Wonderful multimedia illustrations capture the warmth of the various kinds of lights that light up the little girl’s nighttime world.
