Summer Reading - Late Today

Today I'm happy to let you know about another new book from Eerdmans Books for Young Readers - Late Today by Jungyoon Huh, illustrated by Myungae Lee, and translated by Aerin Park.

Favorite Features - 

• Story about showing compassion and how it is always worth it.
• Interesting illustrations.

Eerdmans Books for Young Readers says, "A resonant reminder to make the time to be kind, set in the bustling city of Seoul.

One rainy morning, the Seogang Bridge hums with traffic―and in between the cars is a tiny kitten. People mutter to themselves, but no one wants to stop or slow down. The raindrops pelt the road; the cars screech and honk; the kitten mews. Finally one car pulls over…

With atmospheric art by acclaimed illustrator Myungae Lee, Late Today asks readers to choose compassion in the midst of busyness. This stirring story is perfect for cat lovers, city dwellers, and anyone who’s ever lost themselves in the rush of life."

I found Late Today to be a wonderful story which will capture the attention of children - and adults - and remind all of us to always make time and take time to be kind and helpful for others.
