Night Light

Perfect for new readers in the first grade: a gentle, funny graphic tale about a child, a parent, and the magic of a starry night. In Night Light, Michael Emberley, a Geisel Award–winning author-artist, teams lively panels with warm, approachable art to ease a bedtime scare into bedtime wonder. A blackout during the last bedtime story triggers tears, until a parent collects stars from the sky to light the child’s room; the moon even joins in, and the quiet glow invites both to drift to sleep under the stars. Along the way, young readers practice phonics with silent letters in simple words like too, night, light, right, and tight. This title in the I Like to Read Comics series blends humor, accessible storytelling, and delightful illustrations to support early readers and fans of graphic novels.
