Jacob Starke Loves The Dark

Are you afraid of THE DARK? Jacob Starke is. Jacob Starke is TERRIFIED! Until, that is, he gets to meet The Dark face-to-face and shares an amazing adventure through the wonders of the night sky. Jacob Starke Loves The Dark is a charming rhyming picture book about being brave, outer space, loving plants and animals, and the importance of Dark Skies.Jacob Starke Loves The Dark, the sixth picture book written and illustrated by Peta Rainford, is written in effortless rhyme (think Julia Donaldson) which young children will love and want to hear again and again. Aimed principally at 3-8-year-olds, it has themes and ideas that will engage and provide talking-points for older children and adults too. The important environmental issue of light pollution is subtly tackled with beautiful illustrations, humour and a light touch.
