2 children start off on a road tip with their dad at night.  It's very late as they are the practically the only ones out on the road. They see deer crossing the highway, rabbits running alongside their car. They pass through woods and see animals hiding in the trees. It rains and they play with flashlights in the car. As they arrive, they see bats in the sky and hear the sounds of the night. But the house they arrive at is bright and mom is inside waiting for them. 

The Night is for Darkness is a perfect bedtime story - the illustrations with their shafts of light through them are great. The beautiful text is calming and happy. Includes prayers and tucking in; gorgeous.
