Nightsong

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Loren Long. Through predominantly black spreads, young bat Chiro reluctantly navigates the way from his cave to the pond all by himself for a late-night feeding. The allegory of facing fears of the unknown is as gentle as Long's subdued colors and nightscapes. However, echolocation, described as a song but illustrated as a beam of light, may present a confusing conceptual leap.
