Leila loves painting and bright colours, her bedroom walls featuring her artwork. But she's not a fan of the dark. When one night she notices a girl's face peering down at her from the moon, Leila waves back and a friendship is born.
As Moon Girl accompanies Leila on her midnight adventure, her magic paintbrush lights up the dark and enables Leila to banish her fear of the dark. Page by page they discover gems hidden in the darkness as Leila realises perhaps the night isn't so scary after all.
Showing that children can take control back and banish their fears, it's a beautifully inspiring picture book and I now want my own paint pot full of moonlight!
Sometimes Leila is a little bit scared of the dark. Then she meets Moon Girl.
