The night comes alive when the sun goes down in this celebration of nature, family, and summertime fun.

A trio of siblings wish the day and their summer fun would never end. But a drive out to the country brings new nighttime adventures—chasing fireflies, roasting marshmallows, wishing on stars, and more. All things that can only happen after the sun sets, so maybe night is worth having after all! This lovely, lyrical celebration of nature will appeal to young readers reluctant to see the day end and encourage a new appreciation for unexpected delights.

About the Illustrator

Irina Avgustinovich grew up in Belarus, where she began her illustration career and started a family of her own. In 2022, her family moved to Portugal—a move which, like the story in Snow Steps, came with significant cultural change. In Irina’s case, her move created a deep longing for snow that no longer falls like it did in Belarus! Despite the challenges, Irina and her family continue to learn about and appreciate the joy of the Portuguese way of life.
