Little Dawn

On a sleepless night, a child drifts from the familiar world of her bedroom into a strange inner landscape where fears, memories and longing take shape. As she wanders through the darkness, she discovers other kinds of light — and small comforts she can carry with her into morning.

A poetic picture book about insomnia, imagination and finding reassurance in the night.
