About this ebook
This simple, lyrical picture book takes readers on a nighttime journey lit by all the different kinds of lights in the world (and in the sky).
"Nightlights near, nightlights far, nightlights guide you wherever you are..." At night after the sun goes down, lights come out everywhere. From fireflies in meadows to owls' eyes that catch moonlight; from lighthouses at sea to a thousand glinting city lights—follow them all on an enchanted nighttime journey that leads us home to bed. This poetic exploration of things that shine in the world—and in the sky—invites us all to see the night in wondrous new ways.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Making a note of the family structure -- single white father, twin african-american daughters -- because sometimes that's exactly what I'm looking for. I love that the imagery in picture books is actively trying to be more diverse.
Regarding the actual picture book -- lovely rhyming text, night time adventure and a nod to different luminary sources. Probably long for a story time, but wonderful and soothing for a good night book.
