The Night Artists

di Joan Waites (Autore)

Schiffer Publishing Ltd, 2026

The lush collage art and lyrical text of this picture book liken the sights and sounds of nocturnal animals and insects to a creative nighttime performance. When sun’s pink paint blends into inky blue, The night artists gather to perform. Spiders pull back lace curtains. Moon’s light floods the stage. Inspired by nature, this creative nonfiction picture book invites children to discover various animals and insects that are active at night in a woodland environment. Likening the nocturnal creatures to artists in an enchanting performance that takes place while we’re asleep, this lyrical story engages young readers to learn about and explore nature in a fun and creative way. Educational back matter further encourages readers to explore and learn more about the creatures referenced in the story. Key Features: An array of "artists": Spotlighted animals and insects include tree frogs, spiders, owls, fireflies, moths, crickets, cicadas, mosquitos, and bats. Bonus educational content: Following the story, a special section presents interesting facts about nocturnal animals and nature at nighttime. Gorgeous collage-style illustrations: Each element on the page was cut from hand-painted/printed papers and glued down piece by piece to create the book’s art. With stunning illustrations, charming text, and educational content, this picture book is both an ideal bedtime story and a perfect complement to elementary curriculum on nocturnal animals and insects and their environment.
