Yellow is Ella's favorite color -- she loves the bright, sunny
daytime. But every night, as darkness falls, she becomes afraid.
Yellow is Ella's favorite color -- she loves the bright, sunny daytime.
But every night, as darkness falls, she becomes afraid. Her mother
encourages her to look at the soft glow of the moon and fireflies
dancing in the night. Ella listens to the chirping of crickets and the
gentle rustling of the wind as she gradually realizes that nighttime can
be something to look forward to rather than something to fear.
With sweet, luminous illustrations by Aimée Sicuro, this story will
inspire parents and children to welcome the peaceful nature of nighttime
into their homes and hearts.
