![]() ![]() ![]() The quiet blues and brows and mixed media are calming and provide a feeling that we’re getting a private glimpse into this family’s loving bond. This gentle story shows a special relationship between father and son. When Dad’s shift has ended, he wakes his son up, and they share a ride back home, where the boy cleans out his father’s lunch box, and curls up next to him on the recliner, drifting to sleep in his father’s embrace. They eat their packed lunch together, and the boy reads to his father until he falls asleep on the couch. The pair ride to school on the boy’s father’s motorcycle, and as Dad cleans, the boy finds ways to himself busy the two listening to a ball game on the radio. It’s a Friday night, and a boy and his dad head out at sundown for his father’s night shift as a school custodian. Night Shift, by Karen Hesse/Illustrated by G. ![]()
