The history of darkness

Norwegian title: Mørkets historie

Illustrated by Daria Rychkova

Yulia Horst and Daria Rychkova (illustrator) gave us Tales Throughout Time (Halens historie), an ingenious, lexical picture book which won the prestigious Bologna Ragazzi Award. This time, they've written about something all children can relate to, and nearly all are afraid of: the dark.Through the eyes of a little boy who would rather sleep in his big brother's room, we learn that the darkness can be explained, and that it isn't actually so very frightening.
