The stars that blanket the night sky are filled with mystery, magic and wonder. Our ancestors often looked to them for guidance, collecting and sharing stories of their twinkling wisdom for centuries. Even today we turn to the stars in amazement, seeking both inspiration and illumination.

Night Lights is a new and inspired collection of bedtime stories (and just as enjoyable reading in blazing daylight), pairing elements of the zodiac with playful and meaningful tales of friendship, resiliency and a little bit of magic. Whether your child is afraid of the dark or enchanted by it, the characters they'll meet along the way will both engage and comfort.

Author Jeannie K. Johnson has been an astrology enthusiast for nearly thirty years. When her now grown son was young, he had a very real fear of the dark. This book is her love letter to him, and to the night sky.

For readers eight and up. And a fun read-to-me book for the 5-7 set.
