Two sisters learn to celebrate their individuality in this slightly spooky tale about love, family, and how our differences can bring us together.

Beatrice likes the dark. She likes black clothes, graveyard picnics, and a sky full of stars. Her sister, Roo, likes the light. She likes bright clothes, picking strawberries, and hot, sunny days. Can Beatrice help Roo love the dark as she does? Can Roo help Beatrice love the light? Or are they simply too different to get along?
