Présentation de l'éditeur
La maison de monsieur Leduc est pleine de trucs. De trucs qui débordent des placards, de trucs entassés dans des tiroirs. De trucs perdus, de trucs dont les autres ne veulent plus. Devant cette accumulation de bazar, les voisins, aux maisons proprettes et ordonnées, ne sont pas très emballés. Sauf Mo, un enfant du quartier, qui s’intéresse de près aux trucs de monsieur Leduc. Pour monsieur Leduc, chaque chose est un trésor qui trouvera un jour son utilité. Avec l’aide de Mo, il va, peu à peu, éveiller la curiosité des habitants du quartier.

Présentation de l’éditeur
Beautifully illustrated, In the Darkness of the Night takes readers through the sounds that a young child hears while curled up in bed waiting to fall asleep, from the familiar, reassuring noises of the family and the home, including muffled voices and humming pipes, to sounds from outdoors, like the snuffling and screeching of foxes. And then suddenly, what’s that? Zoom! A car speeds by and a distant siren sounds.

As the illustrations expand to the city beyond the house, we see people who work throughout the night, such as sanitation workers or nurses. And finally, as the sun rises, early morning sounds begin with birdsong and the clatter of trash cans as the city wakes up again.

Emily Rand takes you on a gentle journey through the night, looking at all the sounds and activity that happen while you’re tucked up warm in your bed!
