THE DARK IS FOR

written by Jane Kohuth and illustrated by Cindy Derby

Magic comes to life when night arrives in this lyrical picture book with gorgeous illustrations by Caldecott Honoree Cindy Derby about embracing the beauty of darkness.

The dark is for flying.
The dark is for shining.
The dark is for dreaming…

Though darkness can be scary, beauty can be found in the stillness of the shadows. And in this stunning tale filled with poetic words and gorgeous art, we celebrate the darkness. From the creatures dancing in the blackness of the deep sea to those that wake when night falls in the forest, we feel the magic come to life.

Jane Kohuth’s musical text and Cindy Derby’s stunning illustrations take us on an unforgettable journey to all the spectacular wonders that can only be found in the darkest of places.
