“’Look closer,’ this gentle bedtime book encourages. While nighttime might seem to be only black and white, there is color to see everywhere… An orthodontist by day and a cartoonist by night, [Grant Snider] clearly understands the promise that lies on the other side of sunset.”
—The New York Times
“[A]n evocative picture book that urges young viewers to ‘look closer’ at the night… And though it is the striking art that may rivet a child audience’s attention, the text, with its soothing rhythms and strong near-rhymes full of rich long vowels (‘road’ / ‘glow’), is an equal partner.”
