Nightsong by Professor Ari Berk

Description: "Berk presents a delicate, lyrical story about independence, trusting one's instincts and abilities, and bats. Written in passionate prose-poetry...it's a brilliant description of echolocation and an equally strong metaphor for the logic and perception that human children can use to cut through fear." -- Publishers Weekly "Chiro is both alien and us, bat and beyond, childlike and knowing, a savant and anyone who grows into his/her song. This is what a picture book should be."ÃÂ -- Jane Yolen, bestselling author of How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight."An ideal book for sending a child to school for the first time, tryouts for a team or a class play...[t]his lyrical, sumptuous picture book about a small bat taking his first solo night flight will inspire confidence in any child trying something new--and independently--for the first time." -- Shelf Awareness* "Exquisite design coupled with evocative illustrations enrich this charming tale of a little bat taking his first solo flight and how he learns to "see" with his "good sense," otherwise known as echolocation.... Young ones will relate to Chiro and cheer as he gains confidence with his newfound skill and will be deeply satisfied flying along on his sensory-rich journey."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review"There is nothing at all cute about bats, but don't tell that to the talented Long...who has managed in the past to make even a tractor endearing.... Berk's able storytelling enriches and elaborates...a message about making your way in the world. Even when you're completely in the dark." (The New York Times Book Review )"Ari Berk's (The Secret History of Mermaids) lyrical text and Loren Long's acrylic-and-graphite nightscapes re-imagine the classic tale of a young one leaving its nest as a journey of not only independence but also of creativity.... This lyrical, sumptuous picture book about a small bat taking his first solo night flight will inspire confidence in any child trying something new--and independently--for the first time."
