Night
by Kojiyajiko
illus. by Shinichi Nakayama
Three animal friends on an island at night. Suddenly a star tumbles into the ocean, creating beautiful rainbow waves for the friends to play on. These magical waves lift them into the night sky, where more adventure awaits. The simple language is inspired by palindromes and almost musical in impression. The illustrator’s layered use of crayon creates a vivid landscape for the friends’ adventure. This is a nonsensical and charming picture book filled with playful prose.
