Not So Scary

Orion and the Dark
Written & Illustrated by: Emma Yarlett
Templar, 2015
40 pages
Science Fiction Book

Orion is scared of so many things in life but most of all the dark. He really doesn’t like bed time because of the dark. One night dark comes to take Orion on an adventure to show him how wonderful dark can actually be.
Will Orion come to like the dark or will he always be scared of the dark?

The die-cut artwork seems to bring the “Dark” to life for the reader.
The other illustrations are a beautiful mixture of light and dark keeping
along with the story line of the book.

I choose Science and Kindergarten.
We would discuss what causes it to become dark and where shadows come from.
This will help children who are afraid of the dark.
Then I would have the kids draw a picture of something in the dark even if it is something they might be afraid of so we can have a deeper discussion about it.
