What is A Patch of Black about?
As night falls, a mother comforts her child by transforming the darkness into a world of imagination. A patch of black becomes a magic cloak, a sail for a dream boat, or a flag on a castle where dragons come to tea. This lyrical lullaby, with its soothing rhymes and enchanting illustrations, reassures children that the night is full of wonder, not fear.
