Read for Librarian Book Group

A girl plays in a courtyard with other children. I wouldn't mind living in that apartment building.

Lovely memories of playing late into the night, though I was in the city. Beautiful poetical story from parent to child.

The Night Is Yours is a gorgeous, loving ode to the magic of childhood and the beauty of children at play in the night, playing hide and seek with the moon under their families watchful gaze. I loved the apartment setting, with the courtyard full of kids playing under the light of the stars and the moon, and the father watching his daughter problem solve and gain independence, allowing her to grow and in turn becoming inspired by her. The illustrations shine, but the words sing!
