Snuggle up for a story that's sure to captivate your senses!

There's a special place deep in the heart of the wilderness where the creatures of the night gather--where everyone wants to go--where the Night Librarian spins a tale of mystery.

Fireflies, nighthawks, bats, mice, and brightly colored beetles make themselves comfortable on the forest floor as the Night Librarian transports them into the land of imagination with her silver silken stories. From feasts of tangy berries and salty seeds, to honey comb hives and whisker kisses, to the scent of evergreens, crashing waves of blue oceans, and echoing canyons, Carmen Oliver's lyrical text and Miren Asiain Lora's ethereal art is sure to evoke your senses and send you into dreamland to spin stories of your own.
