Stories about the fear of the dark: girls (5)

Age:
An 8-year-old girl, brave but a little anxious, flushed face, big bright eyes and light-brown pigtails, in blue-and-white striped pajamas, holds a lit flashlight in her right hand and rests her left on a white bunny lovey with a button nose; her mother (about 35) stands in the doorframe, gentle smile, light cotton shirt, caring gaze, hand on the jamb; the plush "Mr. Buttons" rabbit, with a drooping ear and browned nose, is tucked against the girl's cheek or in her arm with visible felt texture; the small warm bedroom has pale blue walls, a thick cream rug, a colorful bookshelf on the right, a wooden toy chest in shadow on the left, a bedside lamp on, and a star projector casting little golden fish and moons on the ceiling; a round low moon casts silver light through light curtains; the girl moves toward the dark corner with the toy chest, her flashlight beam revealing friendly toy shapes—wooden train, maracas, plushies—contrasting cut shadows and spots of light; graphic style: paper collage with cut textures, slightly irregular edges, soft-toned papers, paper-cut shadows and touches of gold for the projected stars.
