"Nightlights near, nightlights far, nightlights guide you wherever you are..." At night after the sun goes down, lights come out everywhere. From fireflies in meadows to owls' eyes that catch moonlight; from lighthouses at sea to a thousand glinting city lights—follow them all on an enchanted nighttime journey that leads us home to bed. This poetic exploration of things that shine in the world—and in the sky—invites us all to see the night in wondrous new ways.

Ajax Holdren didn't think his life could get much worse, until a pretty girl with a sword decided to fight a monster right outside his house. But it turns out the monster is after him, and she's what passes for a guardian angel. They call themselves Nightlights, and they use the remains of alien technology-- and magical swords-- to fight the living darkness that preys on sentient life. They live in a tower discovered by humanity a thousand years ago via portals controlled by the tower itself. And the very best Nightlights are young adults. Most of them begin the training as children... But once Ajax meets Natalie, he can't go back, can't pretend the monsters aren't there. The power awakened inside him-- and his own relentless need for a place-- drives him forward. But stepping through that portal takes him into a alien world, where the walls talk and the sun never shines, and humankind's worst enemy isn't the monsters who stalk the street but the people who make them.

The night is full of lights in this warm bedtime story.Susan Gal tells the story of a child’s evening routine through all the different kinds of lights that shine in the night. From the porch light by the front door, to the firelight (and firefly light!) of a backyard cookout, and the candles on a cake, everything seems to glow in this warm and cozy book. When the lightning of a sudden summer storm sends the action inside, there is light there too—a bedside light to read by, a flashlight to make shadows with, a night-light to keep you company, and the moonlight for sweet dreams.This reassuring reflection of a child’s world makes a wonderful bedtime story, and would be sure to soothe any lingering fears of the dark. A warm, friendly, shining debut from a very talented new author-illustrator.

Welcome to the worlds of these very short snippets that slunk from my imagination over the past few years. There's very little unifying these pieces, both poetry and prose. They are simply my foundations, the lights that guide me through the night. My earliest stars along the horizon as the day began to fade. Merely a glimpse of what is to come. So welcome and enjoy! I cannot thank you enough for holding this book in your hands. More than anything, I hope you find something of value within. Something interesting or thought-provoking. My pride and pleasure is to finally be able to share these worlds with you.
