The Night is Yours is beautiful.  Illustrations are so realistic.  I love the diversity celebration and responsible family units.  Great representation.  Beautiful message celebrating the night, just like your skin.

I loved the way this book evoked peaceful summer nights, running around after dark. That being said, I don't think it would appeal to kids as much as to parents.

I thought this was a very cute book that would be good for preschool children and a little older. My 3-year old enjoyed it pretty well.

This was a good story about how the night is each of ours, and we can make it special to us. It’s important to find time for yourself.

This is a beautiful Black joy bedtime story best suited for ages 4+. My 5yo really enjoyed it, especially the moonlit game of tag. She had to find the last child hiding in the illustrations.

The language is on the flowery side, but that's a feature not a bug when it comes to bedtime stories. Let the rhythm of the words lull them to peaceful slumber.

Gorgeous book about a girl building her tribe from her diverse community. Illustrator Keturah Bobo does an amazing job.

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleA sweet story with lessons about confidence and perseverance. The illustrations are absolutely phenomenal, especially the colors and textures of the night sky and moon. Absolutely beautiful.This is a cute story, however I do feel that because it was written from the parent's perspective, children may not be as interested in it. It definitely felt like it was written for adults more than children. Still, the message of perseverance was well-done and those illustrations are phenomenal. It is a bit wordy at times so better for older children.Overall, a good read.
