A great book for little and not-so-little ones with creative illustrations and coloring to drive home the concepts and address common fears children have about the dark.
When a little girl is afraid of the dark, her mother shows her the light of the night. As much as this family loves the Moon, this book is perfect. The illustrations were gorgeous and enjoyed by both kids.
Beautiful illustrations show how Ella learns to love night time as well as day time.
About a girl who is afraid of dark. Would be a great story to help children think about the night in a different way.
We fear the dark at my house, so this book and its beautiful illustrations was a perfect read.
A sweet introduction to the beauty of nighttime (as opposed to fear of the dark).
A young girl is afraid of the night and makes her mom go into each room turning on the lights as the sun sets. One night her mother shows her the quiet magic of the night and she becomes less afraid.
When the sun subsides and the moon rises, the comfort of the night begins. A. Sicuro's illustrations made this little story especially delightful.
This book tells the tale of Ella, a girl who loves the colour yellow, sunshine and all things bright! She doesn't like the dark and every night, she becomes afraid as night time falls - something that we may have identified with as a child.Ella's mom showed her to look at darkness / night time in a different light by asking Ella to look out for the cricket's sounds etc. Brilliant concept. A must-have for any home library for children.
Ella's favorite color is yellow--the color of the sun and light. She does not like the night because it is dark and the sun goes awayuntil her mother shows her the moon and its quiet yellow standing out in the dark.Beautifully rendered in mixed media, ink and gouache, this picture book is a good read aloud with short and succinct sentences, as well as a visual treat.
Naive illustrations show Yellow Ella's fear of the dark. Ha ha. See, her name sort of rhymes with her favorite color and is also symbolic of fear. Her mother shows her the peaceful softness of nighttime and the "yellow" moon to allay her fears. Can't you sleep, Little Bear? does it better.
Ella doesn't like the dark. She likes the yellow of daytime but isn't there some yellow in nighttime too. Cute one on one or preschool, maybe the right toddler group. I really liked the lesson on being afraid and pushing past it.
This would be an excellent book for a child overcoming a fear of the dark.
A beautiful mixed media picture book where a young girl expresses her love for the sun and not the darkness. the colors truly represent her feelings and emotions.
A little girl who is scared of the dark finds something to love in the night sky. I love the yellow hue of the illustrations and the message.
Beautifully drawn and a sweet little story.
Enchanting illustrations enhance this gentle tale about a little girl who begins to appreciate the quiet, lovely night.
