As a little boy is tucked snugly into bed for the night in his safe, warm home, sleep continues to escape him. He’s missing his dads who are out for an evening together. As he stares groggily out the window into the winter evening his imagination soars bringing to him a pterosaur, like the mobile in his room, to fly him out over the nighttime city scenes until they come home to him.

Gorgeous illustrations bring to life this story. We are at once cozy at home and also out on an almost mystical nighttime journey.

4-9 years old
