Longmont Domestic Violence: On a Dark, Dark Night children's book

The MUCH-ANTICIPATED children's book addressing domestic violence, written by Longmont Police Detective Sara Pierce, is now available. Order your copy NOW!

As part of our domestic violence prevention and awareness efforts, LEVI set out several years back to find books geared for young children on the topic of domestic violence, and we found a lack of resources available. In response, Sara wrote "On a Dark, Dark Night", an illustrated children's book explaining domestic violence in a story format, using words and situations that children understand.

"On a Dark, Dark Night" takes the reader through the experiences of young Cub after he witnesses his father strike his mother. The reader follows along as Cub finds help and support from his old friend Moose and new friend Eagle. The book touches on the very serious topic of domestic violence, but in a way that may help even the smallest children understand and cope with their own experiences.

"On a Dark, Dark Night" is a 52-page hardbound children's book. It is available for only $16.95. All sales go directly to LEVI and will be set aside to fund a second run of books.
