Phoebe loves the way her family goes through the same routine every year on Big Dog Island. The way her family does the same thing to hunt for the birds, that is until this year.

Night Without Darkbness is a beautiful book, which makes you move with the story. The story can be enjoyed by any reader. Readers that like animals will enjoy it most. This story will touch the hearts of many the same way it did to me. It shows the way life turns from good to evil.

This story was set on Flinders Island and is magnificently illustrated and told by the creator of the wonderful book, The Deliverance of Dancing Bears. Elizabeth Stanley has an amazing gift. She has the power to touch people’s hearts with her words and pictures. I loved every word of the story and every careful detail in the illustrations, made by Elizabeth. I never knew a story as remarkable as this could ever be written. This picture book is one of the very best that I have ever read.
