When You're Afraid of the Dark (How Night Came to Be)

A bedtime story for children who are afraid of the dark. 

Tonight, Leo doesn't want to go up to his dark room, so Grandpa tells him an old tale of how the very first night came to the world, and why the morning always comes back. Inspired by a Brazilian folktale.

For children 4 to 8, and whoever sits beside them.

About the tale: this one comes from Brazil, an old folktale about how night first came into the world, passed down along the Amazon and first collected in English more than a hundred years ago. We kept its oldest idea, that night had to come from somewhere, and retold the rest for ages 4 to 8.
