Night Lunch
<b><i>*2022 New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children's Books Winner*</i> Teach values of generosity, understanding and community with this calm and scrumptious story about a lunch cart that feeds the wildlife creatures in the local area.</b> Furry noses sniff the air as mouthwatering smells waft down city streets, luring growling bellies to the Night Owl. Inside this elegant, horse-drawn establishment, a feathery cook works the grill, serving up tasty dishes for shift workers and operagoers alike: <b>a mince pie for Fox, a ham sandwich for Badger and puddings for little Possums</b>. Mouse, a poor street sweeper, watches as the line of customers swells, ever hopeful that someone will drop a morsel of food - but Owl's cooking is far too delicious for more than a crumb to be found. As the evening's service winds down, weary Owl spots trembling Mouse. <b>Has he found his own night lunch, or will he invite this small sweeper inside for a midnight feast for two?</b> From the imagination of two acclaimed picture book creators, together for the first time, this dreamlike picture book is a magical ode to Victorian lunch wagons. With stark, feathery illustrations and minimal, poetic wording, the visuals are simple yet sweet. <b>Evoking the sounds, sights, smells and tastes of the city at night</b>, Night Lunch reveals how empathy and kindness as well as dignity and gratitude can be found - and savoured - in the most unexpected places.
