I' m not afraid!" shouts Roger when he hears thunder outside. . . but he is afraid. When the storm quiets, his aunt Rachel decides to take him on a walk to see the beauty of the natural world at night. Over his Godzilla pj' s goes his rain slicker; onto his feet go his monster boots, and together he and Rachel head down the rocky path to the sea. On the way they discover many marvels--a screech owl calling to its mate, ghost crabs tunneling in the sand, and most incredibly, the luminous life that lights up the water. When they find a tiny firefly who has lost its way, they bring it home and release it back into the woods. At last, Rachel tucks Roger into bed, telling him he is "nature' s brave protector. " An afterword introducing young readers to Rachel Carson, and explaining bioluminiscence, adds to the appeal of the book.
Praise for Daniel Miyares' Night Out: "There aren' t any lessons or morals--just the pleasure of watching a lonely boy find the friendship he wishes for. "--Publishers Weekly, starred review Praise for That is My Dream!: "A must-read illustrated poem that breathes new life into Hughes' "Dream Variation. "--Kirkus Reviews, starred review "With luminous washes of watercolor and the lyrical language of Hughes' s 1924 poem as his text, Miyares (That Neighbor Kid) presents a resonant vision of an African-American boy who imagines a more just world. "--Publishers Weekly, starred review
