Kalispel lives underground with his darkness-loving family and friends and is afraid of only one thing: daylight. One day, with the help of Digger the Rotomite, he learns to face the day and to see its mysterious beauty. The prose and drawings give this book a fairy-tale mystery and appeal.

Fear of the dark is a common experience that most people outgrow. Parents know that the fear usually stops, but children often don't -- they simply know that they are afraid. This delightful and inventive story helps children use their imagination to change images of fear to images of interest, fun, and comfort.
