The House in the night

The house in the night is a book written by Susan Marie Swanson. This book has illustrations in black and white which are "richly detailed" and offers "reassurance to young children that there is always light in the darkness". It tells the story of an imaginative little boy, "he imagines himself aloft on the bird". This book has a variety of themes such as family, Positivity, and Values. This bedtime story "shines its light clearly on things that matter" such as "a home filled with books, art, music and ever-present love". This is a lovely childrens book filled wit creativity.
