Synopsis

What can you do with a patch of black, a moon and a silver star?

From a magical wish-granting cloak to a hammock rocked by jungle animal friends, there's nothing that a patch of night-time sky can't become with a bit of imagination, and certainly no need to be afraid of the dark. Rachel Rooney's charming text is accompanied by beautiful, evocative illustrations from Deborah Allwright.

Author Bio
Deborah Allwright used an ironing board as a drawing table when she was a child, which meant she was limited to drawing snakes, giraffes and other long, thin animals. Now a fully grown and highly acclaimed illustrator, Deborah lives and works in North London - which means she can draw whatever she wants, and not just long, thin animals. Deborah has illustrated many successful picture books including DINOSAUR SLEEPOVER (978-0-330-50955-8) for Macmillan. Rachel Rooney trained as a special needs teacher and now works with children with autism and runs writing workshops. A published poet, Rachel's first collection THE LANGUAGE OF CAT (Francis Lincoln) won the CLPE Poetry Award and was nominated for the 2012 CILIP Carnegie Medal. Rachel lives in Brighton with her three sons and their dog. A PATCH OF BLACK is her first picture book.
