Fiona Loves the Night

by Patricia MacLachlan and Emily MacLachlan Charest

HarperCollins Publishers, 2008

“She turns off the lamp in the hall. She looks out her window. Now she can see the night.” Fiona is the star of this dreamy, child-sized meditation on the world at night. With the rest of the house asleep, Fiona leaves her room to explore her backyard. Artwork of moths, fireflies, the moon, and a bevy of bats is vibrantly colored and depicted in slightly skewed closeups, depicting a nighttime world that’s enthralling and not at all scary.
