Orion and the Dark

by Emma Yarlett

Ages 3–6 Reading age 5 Picture book Set in everyday life gentlespooky

Orion is frightened of a great many things, and the worst is the dark — until the Dark itself turns up and offers him a guided tour of the night.

A story about children and magical creatures, gentle and spooky in tone. We would put it with children of 3–6, and at a reading age of about 5 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
