A boy knows that bedtime stories can make the dark feel softer, so he carries his books into the woods for some very unusual listeners. Vampires, witches, skeletons, and other monsters may seem spooky at first, but they need something gentle too: a voice to read them into sleep. As the boy visits one creature after another, the nighttime world becomes less frightening and more tender, filled with listeners who are strange, lonely, and ready for a story. I Will Read to You is a warm, lightly spooky picture book for readers who enjoy monsters without too much fright, bedtime tales with heart, and the quiet magic of sharing books with someone who needs them.
