**I received and voluntarily read an e-ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.**

Most kids are afraid of the dark at some point, and this book does a great job of addressing the issue. Some of the rhymes felt a little forced at times, but nothing that took away from the story.

Absolutely beautiful illustrations- the colors are warm and inviting and the drawings themselves are childlike without being childish. The art feels very heavily influenced by Pixar (the Pixar short "La Luna" came to mind as I read the book). I could easily see the art taken from the book, framed, and placed on walls.

Overall, a great job and a book I could see in many homes.

This book glows with beauty, both in its artwork and storytelling. Highly recommended for young readers and classroom libraries.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

This adorable story is about a child who is afraid to go to sleep because of the dark in her room.

The illustrations and gentle rhymes make it a great bedtime experience.

A short children's book that tells the story of Jade, a little girl that cannot sleep because she is afraid of the dark, but she'll discover the magic behind it.

It was really good, the art style is colorful and the message is great!

Awww,this was so cute! Jade is scared of darkness and cannot sleep. She tried counting sheeps, closing her eyes, but nothing is working:( Will she brave the dark like the title says? Go and find out!
I loved that the story was written in rhyme, it gave a fun twist to this scary subject. I loved the illustrations too, although I would've liked them to be a little more lighter (maybe it's the e-book I don't know).
I recommend it for children from 2-5 years old.

“Jade Braves the Dark” by Valdene Mark should be read to every child. This is a Beautifully and colorful illustrated book that children will love!

This was a really cute children’s book! I picked it up because I love to see dark skinned main characters in kids books because that was not easy to find when I was a kid! I thought it was a sweet book! It hard to find fault in such a small adorable book! I think that for the target audience it is perfect!
