If You Were Night is a unique children's book that really peaked my interest.

If you were night, what would you do? That is the general idea and theme behind this book. It's poetic, beautifully written and has a kind of Tim Burton essence for how interesting it is. It has it's own style and I'm truly amazed.

I think six year olds and up would enjoy this. Since this book has a little more thought processing behind it, I wouldn't recommend very little readers picking this book up. I do think adults reading it with their children will appreciate this book. It has an adult feel to it as well, since it asks some questions about what you would do if you were night.

The paper cut pictures are AMAZING. Honestly, it really stood out and just blew my mind when I realized what the pictures were made of. I highly recommend picking it up just to see this unique illustration style!

Overall, I'm totally in love with this book! It is so cool and I'd highly recommend it. Even as an adult, seeing a book as unique as this is totally worth it.

Five out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a children's book. The art work is different but I didn't care for it for some reason. I found the story to be cute. They asked questions but I wonder if they are to open ended? Worth a read may not be one you read over and over. 3 stars

This was a lovely, atmospheric bedtime book! I loved the layered paper illustrations, they were so unique and ethereal! My kids liked this one!
