<b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling illustrator of <i>I Am Enough</i>, this glowing, empowering picture book about a nighttime hide-and-seek game celebrates blackness and self-confidence.</b> <i>Little one, so calm and so happy, the darkness of the night is yours like the darkness of your skin.</i> This lyrical text, narrated to a young girl named Amani by her father, follows her as she plays an evening game of hide-and-seek with friends at her apartment complex. The moon's glow helps Amani find the last hidden child, and seems almost like a partner to her in her game, as well as a spotlight pointing out her beauty and strength. This is a gorgeous bedtime read-aloud about joy and family love and community, and most of all about feeling great in your own skin.
