From the first page of the story:
"Annie is small, and the night is big. Very big. And sometimes scary. Tonight the night looks like it's watching her, like white eyes peeking through the dark. And there are noises-like the kind coming at her now from the other side of the thin, knotty-pine walls of her bedroom. Scrape. Scritch. Scrape. As though something with claws is trying to get in."

This is a beautifully written and illustrated book about a child facing her fear of the dark and finding those things that are making the noises that frighten her. Written from a Christian perspective.

"I can lie down and go to sleep. And I will wake up again because the Lord protects me." Psalm 3:5
