The Lightlings by R.C.Sproul illustrated by Justin Gerard*

As in all of his picture books, Mr. Sproul has a child ask a parent a difficult question.  The parent then refers the child to his/her grandfather.  The grandfather then tells a story with allegories to explain faith and salvation.
In this story the Grandfather explains to Charlie why he is afraid of the dark in story about fairy creatures who disobey their King of Light.  As a result, they fear the light until Lightling baby is born who shines like the sun, bringing light once again into their dark world.
*Highly recommend.
