Among the Night People

"Among the Night People" by Clara Dillingham Pierson is a collection of stories that shows the world that comes alive when the sun goes down. Designed for young readers, the book shares tales of animals and plants who come out at night, a world often missed by humans. These stories want to teach kids to see and appreciate the beauty that hides in the darkness such as raccoons, groundhogs, and mosquitos. Stories, like the Speckled Hen learning to love Black Spanish Chickens and young Raccoons getting ready for fun times, are full of lessons about being brave, curious, and valuing friends.
