Art + Tales: Flashlight

Named an NPR Best Book of the Year and Junior Library Guild Selection, Flashlight by Lizi Boyd is a wordless storybook with stunning illustrations that aims to lighten the fear of the dark and the noises that come with it.

” Flashlight allows readers to experience the wonder and excitement of nighttime exploration in the woods and wordlessly entices readers to explore the hidden nature outside their own homes.”— The Busy Librarian

Inside the tent it’s cozy, but what is going on outside? Is it dark? Is it scary? Not if you have your trusty flashlight!

In this charming story, told solely through images, artist Lizi Boyd offers an enchanting exploration of night, nature, and the nocturnal world. One boy’s camping adventure gets even better when he shines a light into the shadows and finds all sorts of nighttime creatures, fascinating insects, plants, trees, and streams—all brilliantly illuminated in the beam of his flashlight.
