Ettie is afraid of the dark. Every night, without fail, her Mummy calls, “Time for bed, Ettie!” The curtains pull shut, her bedside light blinks out and Ettie is surrounded by the deep inky cloak of the dark. Until one night, the bright moon shines through a crack in her curtains.
Cautiously, Ettie reaches out a hand to touch the light and is surprised to find that it leaves a glittering mark on her hands. She pulls open her curtains and beings to connect the stars in the sky as if they were dots.
A moon bear slowly appears in the sky, and when she connects the very last dot, he bursts into life, standing in Ettie’s very own bedroom.
An almost wordless picture book, this is a beautiful story about creativity, imagination and the beautiful things that appear in the night.
