Louise Greig and Ashling Lindsay fashion a warm tale of bedtime imagery tinged with comforting magic in The Night Box. At the end of the day, young Max is ready for bed. He takes the key that hangs at his wrist and unlocks a special box in his room. Immediately, Day slips inside the box and Night sweeps out, enveloping the land in darkness and tranquility. In the morning, when Max opens the box again, Night slips inside and Day sweeps out. Grieg’s soothingly poetic text and Lindsay’s inviting flat-style illustrations bring charm to this modern-day etiological tale. #night #box #day #bed #bedtime #dark #darkness #light #world #magic #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbooks #picturebook #picturebooks #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
