"In the night time, the wind brings night whispers, so I follow them." [1]
Summary
This book has gentle watercolors and spare text are hallmarks of this series about a young African-American boy and his loving, watchful family. Joshua and his father listen to the night sounds. [2]
Pros
This book has very cute story about a little boy who wakes in the middle of the night and is a little scared of the night whispers coming through his house. Many young readers will be able to connect to this story with its beautiful interpretive language. This is a good book to use to introduce the purpose and uses of elipses. [3]
A reader named Mrs B spoke about her thought of this book. She said that this book is one of several books by Angela Johnson that is used to support lessons in the Lucy Calkins Units of Study For Primary Writing curricululm. Joshua's Night Whishpers is used to help young writers see an accomplished author writing "small moment" stories in the same way they also try to write small moments about their own lives. Johnson turns a simple, common event that could occur in any child's life and turn it into a tender story any child could relate to; especially the feeling of safety and security when being held by a loving parent. [4]
