The Long Night of the Toads
By Noemi Vola
Noemi Vola makes her children’s graphic novel debut with a bold and original tale about those who refuse to be pushed to the sidelines.
In a small forest community, a group of creatures awakens to a world plunged into darkness. The birds no longer sing, the flower petals remain closed, and the animals linger in their dens. The sun has vanished, and the truth soon emerges: the toads, who are creatures of the night, have kidnapped the sun to prolong the darkness they love. As uncertainty spreads through the forest, harmony begins to unravel. But one small creature refuses to accept life in the shadows. Determined to restore the light, she sets out to persuade the others to challenge the toads and bring back the sun. By turns funny, tender, and quietly subversive, The Long Night of the Toads is a contemporary tale about courage, community, and the power of action even in the darkest of times.
