The Good Night Shift
Every night as the sun goes down, Luna turns on Tita’s radio and wakes Mamá up for her night shift.
Over the course of one bedtime, Luna meets all the people in her neighborhood whose work helps her community thrive overnight, from the street sweeper to the train conductor, and even Tita watching over her while Mamá works.
A gorgeous ode to night shift workers everywhere! Publication is set for 2027.

Isabel Roxas, Illustrator
Isabel Roxas is an author and illustrator based in Queens, New York City, surrounded by houseplants, overstuffed bookshelves and baking supplies. She makes books for young readers about curious misfits, unlikely heroes, funny animals, and the joy of snacks. Once a night owl, she still feels at home in the quiet, gauzy world of the night shift.
