2015 - Groundwood Books
Written by Robert Heidbreder
Illustrated by Qin Leng
As night falls on a soft summer evening, neighborhood children are drawn out of their houses by the sights and sounds of the world after dark.
First the fireflies come sparkling past, followed by a host of domestic and wild animals, from cats and dogs to owls and skunks.
Accomplished children’s poet Robert Heidbreder creates a world of enchantment, while Qin Leng’s illustrations conjure the harmonious interplay between our everyday domestic world and one that is just a little bit wilder.
All the characters, both human and otherwise, have their moment on the nighttime stage, but eventually, the curtain falls, and sleepiness beckons.
