The creatures living in the deep ocean are not afraid of the dark, they fear the bright world above. Hatch and his small family of hatchetfish, along with Nardo, a Dumbo octopus, set out to discover the truth about the mysterious world above. Along the way, those they meet are also afraid and each has a lesson for the adventurers. When no one can remove his children?s fears, the adventure?s lessons help him understand that fear can be a fence. "I think that's what being afraid does,? Hatch says, looking up. ?It keeps us from seeing the beautiful and wonderful things around us. Keeps us from enjoying them. I don't want to be afraid anymore, and I don't want my children to be afraid and miss everything wonderful around them. I will go, and if I can, I will come back to tell you all what is hiding up there behind our fear. I love you." ?Deep Dark: A Bedtime Tale? appeals to readers of any age with both simple and nuanced concepts for discussion as the children you love gain new insights.
