After dark
In the middle of the night, written by Kathy Henderson and illustrated by Jennifer Eachus (Walker Books, 4.99), combines gentle words and stunning illustrations to give a realistic and unsentimental insight into the world of the night worker. Cleaners, bakers, postal workers and astronomers all feature, as well as a mother comforting her wakeful child. The book deserves its accolades from reviewers and makes an ideal introduction to a project on 'night' or a comparative investigation into 'day and night'.
Share the story and start by focusing on the nightworkers and their jobs.
