When night falls on the village, the world goes quiet. Shadows gather. The dark feels big.
But darkness is not an enemy. It is the keeper of stars, the cradle of fireflies, the soft hour when grandmothers tell stories. With a small lantern in her hand, a curious child sets out to discover what the night really holds - and learns that the smallest light can change everything.
A Little Light for the Dark is a warm, lyrical bedtime story from Pawa Seyni: a tale of courage that begins as fear and grows, gently, into wonder. With painterly West African-inspired illustrations and a read-aloud rhythm made for sleepy eyes and small hands, this book invites children ages 3 to 8 to find their own quiet bravery - and to discover that the dark is full of friends if you only have the patience to look.
Part of the Pawa Seyni Bedtime & Wisdom collection: thoughtful, beautifully illustrated bedtime tales that travel from West Africa to the world. A portion of proceeds from every Pawa Seyni book supports the SEN Yakaar Foundation, bringing books and learning resources to children across the West African diaspora. Learn more at senyakaar.org.
