Happiness sleeps peacefully. Imagination puts on her boots and goes out for a long ramble under the stars. Anger loves stormy nights, when the whole sky feels like she does. This enchanting, thoughtful picture book brings our feelings to life and shows us where they go once night falls.

Review
Praise for the series: ― _
A delightful, warm-hearted picture book… Zajac’s grey, dense-textured creatures, with their expressive ears and limbs, are reminiscent of Sendak’s, with a charm all their own ― Guardian
Makes you want to turn each page for a new discovery… The book is a confirmation for children (and adults) of the universality of emotions – and is therefore comforting and also offers a springboard for them to talk about how they feel ― Sunday Times, Children’s Book of the Week
A delicate and delightful way to explore big feelings with small children ― i
An absolutely gorgeous picturebook… that I believe deserves a place on everyone’s bookshelf… It has provoked conversations with my little one about how we respond to the world around us ― Storytime with Hannah and Patrick
