This beautifully illustrated book brings to life a mesmerizing poem by E.B. White, originally published in The New Yorker in 1928, capturing the enchanting essence of nature and nighttime through the lens of a sleepless duck. Set in New York's Central Park, it explores the shared restlessness of two creatures wandering around a reservoir late at night, inviting readers to ponder their worries and wonders. With illustrations by two-time Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet and a foreword by E.B. White’s granddaughter, Martha White, this work serves as a love letter to the magic of nature and the power of imagination.
