Warm, engaging artwork plays the dark indigo of night off warm, golden interior light.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Wisely, the quiet text lets the pictures tell the stories, allowing viewers to discover the connections on their own. . . . The characters’ diversity nicely reflects the big-city setting. . . .”—The Horn Book, Starred Review

“A beautiful introduction to the city at night. “—Booklist

“Will spark curiosity and awe.”—School Library Journal
