Nightlights

Each night, tiny lights appear in Sandy’s darkened bedroom. She catches them and turns them into creatures that accompany her until she falls asleep; by morning, she gives them new life in her drawings. Sandy’s imaginative artwork stands out against the muted colors of her everyday world. When a new friend at school threatens both Sandy and her art, she finds a clever way to get away. The story brings together nighttime fantasy, drawing, and a child’s response to danger.
