In this awe-inspiring and science-filled picture book, with pictures by the New York Times bestselling illustrator of Odder, join a baby bat and her Mama as they visit the Queens of the Night: majestic flowers that bloom for only one night each year.

Little Bat has been waiting for this all year! For the first time, she is flying to meet the Queen in a grand garden!

Come along with Little Bat, her Mama, and their whole clan as they soar like shooting stars over darkened canyons, desert peaks, and parched riverbeds. But when they finally reach the garden, Little Bat is confused: she sees no Queen -- only boring, spindly cacti. But then... buds begin to tremble...until they burst spectacularly into bloom, with flowers as bright as moonlight. These are the Queens of the Night, and they are awake!

All night, the bats feast, pollinating the flowers... until the sun begins to rise, and the blooms begin to close, and it is time, once more, for Little Bat to fly home and sleep.
