Product Description

In a reassuring bedtime book perfectly pitched to ease sleep anxiety, a little boy overcomes his worries by befriending the darkness
A little boy faces his fear of the dark by engaging in a conversation with it. Imagining the dark as a friendly shadow creature, the boy comes to the realization that the dark is not only a necessary part of life, but that it can be fun as well! The boy and his new friend play make believe, meditate, and listen to music until it's finally time to fall asleep.
In Hello, Dark, Wai Mei Wong's debut offers a mindful depiction of the dark that's perfect for bedtime and will help even the most restless sleepers find their own comfort after the lights go out. Tamara Campeau's compelling illustrations depict the boy's bedroom in deep and rich color that perfectly evokes the feeling of darkness without being frightening. A note to caregivers at the end of the book relays the author's experience as an early childhood educator who has often supported families seeking support to manage their child's fear of the dark and sleeping anxiety.

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1-Fear is replaced with reverie in Wong's matter-of-fact conversation between an Asian boy and "Dark," who frightens him every night with sound and atmospherics. The child, with black hair puffed as a chrysanthemum and wearing rumpled pajamas, is fed up with being afraid, and lists all the things Dark does well. Dark shields the earth to give it time to rest, nocturnal animals can play safely in the shadows, and more. The narrator reaches up, toward Dark, and realizes that his newly amiable companion may be lonely. The monologue then turns to happier things, such as shadow play, meditation, and sharing music. The illustrations are moody and walk a fine line between what the child imagines and the shadows that might actually occupy a bedroom in the dark. The boy's narration is age-appropriate and logical, as he works through his feelings to safety. VERDICT A generous look at nighttime, and the fact that it unfolds in dim rooms and under black skies gives it a resonant veracity. For all bedtime shelves.-Kimberly Olson Fakih(c) Copyright 2011.
