The House in the Night

Susan Marie Swanson and Beth Krommes

“Please find the key to the house.”

Inside, there are comforting and intriguing nighttime things—a bed, many books—and outside, there are sources of light and joy—the moon, the sky—that reveal a reassuring order in the universe. This timeless bedtime story transports readers through the nighttime house, up into the sky, and back home while reminding us of the presence of love and wonder in our world.

Susan Marie Swanson’s spare verse and Beth Kromme’s breathtaking illustrations intertwine to create a comforting, magical story that will be revisited time and again.”
