Jenny Stow : Artist and Illustrator

 

"The islanders call her Darkfright because she cannot bear the night. As everybody else prepares for bed Darkfright gets as busy as a hill full of ants trying to keep the night away. But one day a star crashes through Darkfright's door, a broken star that needs healing"
