Author Notes:Author and illustrator Elisha Cooper's beautiful watercolour illustrations are often inspired by his reallife trips driving around the country and by the sights and sounds of the places he visits. However, his book A Good Night Walk - in which a parent and child take a nighttime stroll through their neighborhood - was inspired by a journey a little closer to home. "When my daughter was an infant, she cried in the evenings so I took her for walks," Cooper recalls. "I talked, pointing out things, from recycling bins to a sprawling oak tree that grew through a fence. The walks calmed my daughter, and me. After half an hour she fell asleep and we came home to bed. That was the start of this book." Cooper lives with his family in Chicago, Illinois.For more information about Elisha Cooper, visit: scholastic.com/tradebooks and elishacooper.com
