A beautifully illustrated, nonfiction picture book showing readers all the bright things that can be found in the dark of night. When night falls, everything is dark. Or is it? The Moon shines with a pale light. A car drives along the street, and when its headlights flash, two bright dots run by. Is it a cat’s eyes? Or perhaps a fox’s? Stars twinkle in the night sky, and sometimes even the bright belt of the Milky Way is visible. Come on a journey and visit the dark forest, the deep ocean, and the shadows of the city, and discover everything that glows, glitters, and shines in the night! This nonfiction picture book is full of fun facts about all the strange and wonderful sources of light on Earth and in the sky, from the Moon and the stars to glow-in-the-dark insects, luminous underwater creatures, lighthouses, fireworks, and phosphorescence.

Tod Seelie loves New York, but not the version depicted in postcards. His city is an underground haven for people at society's edges, people who come alive at night, who make music and art and noise and mess. This startlingly beautiful collection of images captures a gritty culture that belies the city's glamorous persona. Here are punk bands and bike parades, abandoned spaces and skeezy clubs, junk-filled lots and sketchy streets. Interspersed throughout the book are texts from Seelie's friends and fellow artists, along with an introduction by Jeff Stark, editor of the iconic alternative events e-mail list Nonsense NYC. The photographs in the book create a love poem to the city that not only doesn't sleep--it cavorts around at 3:00 am looking for the next adventure. AUTHOR: Tod Seelie has taken pictures in more than 25 countries on five continents. His photographs have been exhibited in galleries around the world and appeared in publications including the New York Times, Rolling Stone, pin, Thrasher, Vice, Der Spiegel, Art Forum, and American Way. Seelie displays his work on multiple websites including Sucka Pants, which he has maintained for almost a decade. SELLING POINTS: Colourful, entertaining, and slightly shocking, this is the first book from Tod Seelie, a photographer whose images "elevate mere weirdness to a more striking realm of visual intrigue" (New York Times)! ILLUSTRATIONS: 160 photographs
