When the Dark Wakes Up is the story about a family of five-a mother, father, two boys, and their little sister-sharing nightly, fun-loving traditions during dinner, bath time, and bedtime. There is nothing more magical and valuable than family time and creating special memories that will last a lifetime. Weaving together love, laughter, and the colorful language of young children, When the Dark Wakes Up will inspire mothers and fathers to read to their three- to eight-year-olds and to create their own nightly family traditions with laughter and love.
