Join George and his adorable nighttime friends as they brave the dark together and learn how to overcome personal fears together. Curled up in his warm bed, George cannot go to sleep. The darkness that surrounds him almost chases his dreams away entirely until a little mouse appears. As they walk from room to room, the pair meet other new friends, including a mole in the library who guards the books and a penguin in the bathroom that is terrified of water. After sharing what they're each afraid of, together they help one another overcome their fears, ending the evening with a magical feast! Following her vivid and delicate illustrations for the Miyuki books, Seng Soun Ratanavanh applies the same stunning level of detail in Night Friends, illuminating the night and reminding young readers how important it is to dream.
