Virtual Story Time with Abdul-Razak Zachariah, "The Night Is Yours"

  • R.J. Julia Bookseller 768 Boston Post Road Madison, CT 06443 (map)

From the New York Times bestselling illustrator of I Am Enough, this glowing, empowering picture book about a nighttime hide-and-seek game celebrates blackness and self-confidence.

"Little one, so calm and so happy, the darkness of the night is yours like the darkness of your skin."

This lyrical text, narrated to a young girl named Amani by her father, follows her as she plays an evening game of hide-and-seek with friends at her apartment complex. The moon's glow helps Amani find the last hidden child, and seems almost like a partner to her in her game, as well as a spotlight pointing out her beauty and strength.

This is a gorgeous bedtime read-aloud about joy and family love and community, and most of all about feeling great in your own skin.
