Nightsong

Juvenile Fiction / Concepts / Sounds 

From author-illustrator Sally Soweol Han comes a joyful story about discovering new things and listening to the amazing world around us.

After a long day in the big, noisy city, Lewis and his mother are on their way home when their bus breaks down, leaving them stranded along a quiet country road. With nothing to do, Lewis ventures into a nearby field and begins to notice different sounds all around him. Beetles BUZZ and critters ZIP in the moon-bright sky. Whooooooosh, chirr, chirr, flitter flutter, rustle rustle—whoa! The more he listens, the more he hears—nature is full of wonder and music.

Beautifully written and illustrated in a gorgeous, limited nighttime pallet by Sally Soweol Han, Nightsong introduces young readers to all the amazing sounds we can discover in nature if we just take a little time to stop and listen.
