What is In the middle of the night about?
When the town falls quiet and most people are fast asleep, a hidden world comes alive. Street cleaners sweep the pavements, bakers prepare fresh bread, astronomers study the sky and nurses care for patients. Cats prowl, post workers make their rounds and parents soothe waking babies. Moving gently from one nighttime scene to the next, this poetic picture book reveals the people, animals and quiet events that keep the world going until morning.
