Everyone’s aboard the night-train.
They’re all sleepy-heads, ready for bed,
ready to ride the train to Tomorrow….
But the train won’t go until wide-awake William shuts his eyes.
- "a visually exciting and satisfying story... the kind of book that children and adults will pore over together." Booklist
- "A truly memorable ride, this ticket to dreamland will be good for many repeated trips." Kirkus Reviews
“In William and the Night-Train I wanted to capture that so-excited-I-can’t-wait feeling that you get before a journey or a holiday. At the same time, I wanted to show how magical sleep is: it’s a form of time-travel, fast-forwarding you to the future literally in the blink of an eye.”
William and the Night-Train was included in The White Ravens 2002,
the International Youth Library’s (Internationale Jugend Bibliothek) annual selection of outstanding picture books for children.
