Goodnight Devonport: Light and Dark

By: Sadden, Amanda

When the last story sighs at Devonport Library, Benjamin the little library cat and Teddy, a boy made of gentle golden light, set off into the evening.

Together, they follow the little lights of home, glowing windows on Victoria Road, ferry lamps trembling across the harbour, porch lights along old streets, moonlight on Cheltenham sand, and Rangitoto resting across the water.

As Devonport grows quiet, Teddy discovers that the dark is never empty.

It is full of light, love, and the soft, familiar things that help us find our way home.

A tender bedtime story for every child learning that night can be beautiful, safe, and full of wonder.
