Illustrated by
Joanna Yardley.
When Eli's night-light burns out one night, at first he's disconcerted by the dark; then he gradually begins to notice all the things that illuminate the night--his clock, passing headlights, and hundreds of stars. It's gratifying to see Eli create his own comfort in this subtly rhymed tale, whose soothing tones are echoed in the glowing pastel illustrations.
