Lily is a young elementary school girl whose world is about to become turned upside down - her mom is pregnant! All of Lily's life she has been used to being the only child, and the only child for her parents to give all their attention to, but with the new arrival of a baby, Lily decides to run away. On her journey to find herself, she meets animal friends that help her along the way. 

 Lily and the Night Creatures is a cute little book with adorable illustrations and a beautiful cover. Kids who love nature, animals and exploring will love this book. I thought it was a bit slow in the beginning, but once Lily started her adventure it was enjoyable. Lily is described as Asian American along with her parents, grandma and sibling. The other characters are animals.
