There was once a bat who didn’t like the dark but kept that fear deep inside. Then one night, lost in the dark woods, the bat meets an owl who guides the bat home. Along the way, they encounter the magical sights, sounds and fellow creatures of the night as the bat comes to see that sometimes it’s in the darkest night that all the stars shine extra bright…
