Stories of the Night by Kitty Crowther

5.0

Inspired by a portentous dream of a friend, Crowther has collected three of her own fairy-tale-esque stories here which are told in order to help baby bear get to sleep. Each story is on the theme of sleep and safety and a bright pink is used throughout each page to connect the story right back to mummy bear. I think much of Crowther’s magic lies in her mastery of a delicate, comforting narrative captured in both words and pictures. She is a weaver of tales that speaks to us at a deep level. It’s hard to encapsulate what she does that I find deeply affecting.
