Night Ride

A breathtaking, first-of-its-kind wordless picture book illustrated entirely in stained glass, celebrating the joy of Black childhood and the freedom of exploring New York City through the eyes of Caldecott Honoree Christopher Myers.

On a warm summer night, a group of children sets off on their bicycles to explore a city that, for one magical evening, feels entirely their own. Their journey carries them from Harlem through Central Park, into Chinatown, and across the Brooklyn Bridge, where New York City’s iconic landmarks become reflections of their wonder, imagination, and joy.

Rooted in everyday moments yet infused with a sense of the extraordinary, this remarkable wordless picture book invites readers to experience the city through movement, light, and color. Rendered entirely in stunning stained-glass artwork, Christopher Myers’s luminous illustrations celebrate Black childhood as beautiful, resilient, and sacred.
