This tender, gorgeous tale by the internationally renowned cartoonist
Liniers will reveal to early readers the wonders that exist at night, in
secret, after they close their eyes.
Liniers's US debut, The Big Wet Balloon, was selected as one of
Parents Magazine's top ten, and his follow up, Written and Drawn by
Henrietta, was named one of School Library Journal's Best Books of
the Year. Liniers is from Buenos Aires, Argentina, but he now lives in
Vermont as the artist-in-residence at the Center for Cartoon Studies
with his wife and three young daughters. They have fallen in love with
the New England landscape, the house they live in, the night sky, and
the family's new puppy, Elliot, all of which figure prominently in this
book.
