Book Synopsis The incredible world of the animals, plants, and other natural phenomena that live their lives throughout the night.

For these creatures, plants and natural phenomena, the night falls and another day begins. Nocturnal is a beautiful invitation to come along and learn all about these mysteries of the night.
