Summary"Each morning when James leaves his small house by the sea, he cycles around the island and calls out to his friends. "Good morning!" he calls to the otters in their pool. "Good morning!" to the birds in the trees, the rabbits in their burrow, and the bears in their cave. Every day is wonderful, until one evening when ominous clouds start to paint the sky, and a fierce storm crashes in. The light glowing inside his house gives James comfort, but what about the animals? Should he go outside and make sure they're safe? Beautifully layered illustrations follow the child in his little red coat as he searches the wild, windy night for his friends, to no avail-until an anxious return home rewards him with the fruits of his kindness. Stylized and atmospheric, Richard Jones's exquisite art and lyrical text tell a heart-stirring tale of a loving bond that will linger long after the book is closed"-- Provided by publisher.
