At night we sail over the inky black sea, me and my dad, in our little red boat. We cast out our nets, and we wait in the dark, and the star light shines above us.

Follow the journey of one little girl and her father as their fishing boat comes back home. Clever paper engineering makes objects 'light up' on every spread - from the roaming beams of the lighthouse, to the warm yellow lights of the fishing village.

With a lyrical, repetitive text and atmospheric art by The Ride-by-Nights illustrator Carolina Rabei, this twinkly tale will have little readers feeling sleepy in no time.
