Hannah, obviously the youngest child in the family, comes
into her own very early in the morning, when, with everyone else asleep, there
is nobody around to tell her what to do. With the family cat for company she explores
the house, helps herself to the most delicious items in the fridge, and stares out the window at the setting moon. Then, she takes her sister’s treasured music
box plus her colouring pencils and notebook back to her own bed to play with.
Hannah is in control! Exquisitely illustrated in nighttime colours, this story
shows the power of being alone.
