Does your child insist on sleeping with the lights on? You're not alone, and help has arrived in the most magical way! Meet Ellie, an adorable baby elephant with a big problem: she's terrified of the dark. Every single night, Ellie begs to keep the lights on, convinced that darkness is something to fear. But when her wise and loving grandmother, Grams, gently takes her outside one starry night, Ellie discovers something extraordinary, the dark isn't empty at all. It's filled with wonder, beauty, and magic she never imagined. WHAT THIS STORY IS ABOUT
In this heartwarming picture book, Ellie and Grams share a special nighttime adventure that changes everything. Together, they gaze at glittering stars, listen to the quiet secrets of the night, and Ellie slowly discovers the courage she always had inside her. By the time she snuggles back into bed, Ellie, and your child, will see the dark in a whole new light. PERFECT FOR CHILDREN AGES 4-8
