Who Needs the Dark? may be the book you didn't know you needed this #Halloween. It's got an adorable black cat, glowing fungi, and even a skeleton or two, but it's message is reassuring: the dark doesn't need to be scary! @owlkids.bsky.social @risahugo.bsky.social #picturebook #kidlit #darkness

Cover of the book "MΓ©tis Like Me" by Tasha Hilderman and Risa Hugo, showing three children lying on grass surrounded by large beaded floral patterns. Logos at the top include the Ontario Arts Council, Ontario Arts Foundation, and Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children’s Book Awards. The Tundra Books logo is on the right. Text at the bottom reads: β€œShortlisted for 2025 Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children’s Book Award.”
