*** An exciting and stunning debut for May's pick. We first saw the first glimpses of Shine as part of the Cambridge School Of Art Children's Book Programme and have been eagerly awaiting its arrival ever since. Gather your courage to face your fears and embrace who you are and let's delve into May's book of the month pick...
A lyrical and dramatic picture book about a moth who is afraid of the dark and embraces his authentic self.
A little moth hides from the dark, and doesn’t want to leave his bright and cozy home. But here’s a secret: he loves watching the stars. They only come out at night, though . . . when it’s dark outside.
One night, the stars give the moth the courage to go outside into the night. There, he makes friends with other creatures who are also afraid of the dark, and they play and sparkle under the stars. But will a dangerous encounter with a group of hungry frogs drive the moth back inside? Or will it encourage him to create his own light in the darkness?
Inspired by the author’s own childhood memories of being afraid of the dark but drawn to the beauty of the night sky, Shine is a gorgeous debut picture book which will encourage readers to be their authentic selves . . . and glow!
