Tell me please: What is The Night?’ asks a little girl of the earthworm, the owl, the firefly… Glowing out from the pages, their answers merge into a tapestry of the more mysterious sides of night-time and the curious habits of creatures that come to life in darkness.
An incredible ‘nature facts’ book, in which breathtaking visuals and witty verse illuminate an alternative world where light and sight don’t matter. As the bat says…
Oh you creatures of the light!
Can you EVER know the night?
You need light so much for sight
When evening falls you don’t feel right.
Columns, short stories, novels, plays, a long-running cartoon strip, Suki… Manjula Padmanabhan traverses all these genres with ease. She has illustrated 24 books for children. For Tulika, she has created the popular I am Different! Same and Different, We are different and World Tour Mystery. Manjula grew up in Europe, Southeast Asia and India. She still travels a lot and likes to pretend that she lives everywhere and nowhere at once.
