The Night Crossing
Ages 8–12 · 1994

Written by Karen Ackerman · Illustrated by Catherine Stock
With Mom working nights, two kids treasure the quiet moments before dawn.
Mom leaves for work just as Rachel and her younger brother, Josh, help their grandmother set the table for dinner. Sometimes Rachel hears Mom come home in the early morning, and she wakes Josh so they can go downstairs and share a quiet time with her.
