THE DUCK CAN’T SLEEP written by EB White and illustrated by Melissa Sweet

E.B. White’s THE DUCK CAN’T SLEEP is a book many non-sleeping adults will relate to. White’s elegant word choices give this poem a timeless quality that easily translates to a picture book with the talents of Melissa Sweet’s collages and rendering of nighttime scenes that embrace both late-night sleeplessness and White’s love as nature. We behold a restless man walking around Central Park contemplating where exactly a duck’s mind might wander as he paddles across the “captive lake “with a negligible wake.” A forward by White’s granddaughter remembers his love of nature, late night insomnia and humor, pacing and rhyme.
