About the Book

See below for English description.

Les festins de minuit, les créatures nocturnes et la générosité sont à l'honneur dans cet album illustré d'Eric Fan.

Quand la nuit tombe, des museaux hument l'air pendant que les odeurs alléchantes d'un chariot de nourriture bien garni attirent les ventres affamés vers de délicieuses bouchées. À l'intérieur de cet élégant chariot, un chef à plumes s'occupe du gril, servant des plats savoureux. Souris, un pauvre balayeur, observe la file d'attente des clients, espérant toujours que quelqu'un laissera tomber un morceau de nourriture... mais la cuisine de Chouette est bien trop délicieuse pour que l'on en laisse tomber plus d'une miette. Alors que le service du soir touche à sa fin, la chouette fatiguée aperçoit la souris tremblante. A-t-elle trouvé son propre repas de minuit, ou la chouette invitera-t-elle ce petit balayeur à déguster un festin de nuit pour deux?

Cet album onirique est une ode enchantée aux chariots de nourriture victoriens. Évoquant les sons, les lieux, les odeurs et les saveurs de la ville nocturne, Festin de nuit révèle l'empathie et la gentillesse, la dignité et la gratitude qui se trouvent, et se savourent, dans les lieux les plus inattendus.

A delectable picture book about midnight snacks, nocturnal creatures, and unexpected generosity, inspired by lunch carts that were the predecessors of today's food trucks and diners.

Noses sniff the air as mouthwatering smells waft down city streets, luring growling bellies to the Night Owl. Inside this elegant, horse-drawn establishment, a feathery cook works the grill, serving up tasty dishes for shift-workers and operagoers alike. Mouse, a poor street sweeper, watches as the line of customers swells, ever hopeful that someone will drop a morsel of food -- but Owl's cooking is far too delicious for more than a crumb to be found. As the evening's service winds down, weary Owl spots trembling Mouse. Has he found his own night lunch, or will he invite this small sweeper inside for a midnight feast for two?

From the imagination of two acclaimed picture book creators, together for the first time, this dreamlike picture book is a magical ode to Victorian lunch wagons. Evoking the sounds, sights, smells, and tastes of the city at night, Festin de nuit reveals how empathy and kindness as well as dignity and gratitude can be found -- and savoured -- in the most unexpected places.
