Through the Night by Jim Aylesworth
"I Love That Book About The Daddy Coming Home."
Daddy drives through the night, thinking of his wife and children, who greet
him upon his arrival home.
Personal Review: Through the Night by Jim Aylesworth
My daughter's preschool had a copy of this book, and I was really
captivated by it. The sense of the dad's quest to return home to his family
was (I thought) very moving. The illustrations are very period ('40s, I
suppose), which I think makes them visually interesting for kids and kind of
nostalgia-inducing for the grownup reading it.
A striking book which I still think of some years after first encountering it. It
has some of the night magic of "The Moon Jumpers," one of my great
favorites from my own childhood (Janice May Udry and Maurice Sendak).
