IN THIS DARKLY MAGICAL FAIRY TALE, the children of a town awake to discover that both the sun and their parents have disappeared. They band together to search for the sun, and walk the streets of the gauzy, dreamlike Nighttime City, encountering strange creatures and neon-lit zoos, new smells and sounds, but no sun. Eventually, one brave girl suggests, if the sun is nowhere to be found, they may have to create one themselves. The book is written by a co-founder of Ayin Press, Tom Haviv, and illustrated by the celebrated visual artist Jessica Tamar Deutsch, best known for her beloved The Illustrated Pirkei Avot; The Lost Princess, a retelling of a classic Rebbi Nachman of Breslov story; and many Jewish zines.
