Charlesbridge Publishing Graphite on paper illustrations and rhythmic text evoke just the right mood in this nostalgic look at a child's train journey during the Night Train, Penguin Random House, Train Rides, Bedtime Stories, Travel Alone, Train Travel, Nonfiction Books, Night Time, Childrens Books
Welcome to Wendell Minor's Website
A child boards a train in the country just as twilight turns to evening. As the train bumps and hurries along the tracks, the child notices colors: the red of a blinking signal light, a blue glow from a house’s window, orange sparks from the train’s wheels, and the yellow moon above. With text and images as rhythmic as a train itself, Night Train takes readers on a nostalgic ride from night until journey’s end at dawn.

If You Were a Penguin
Breezy rhymes introduce each dazzling double-page scene of penguin life, from “flying” underwater to tobogganing over the arctic snow to feeding a pair of adorably fuzzy chicks. Wendell’s vibrant large-scale figures, set against bracing polar landscapes, have enough personality to captivate a crowd, but their breathtaking detail demands the closer inspection and shared exploration of a lap-sit session.

Red Badge of Courage Frame
A father decides a river best captures his feelings for his young daughter. A gift of life and changing beauty, a river encompasses so much more than meets the eye.

"Inspired by childhood visits to family farms, Minor shares descriptions and facts about different farm animals and their behaviors.

“This gorgeous book presents a lyrical account of Amelia Earhart’s… transatlantic flight, taking readers from the runway at Harbour Grace, Newfoundland… through an initially calm and eventually harrowing flight in which weather and equipment failure almost condemn Amelia’s small craft to the dark waters of the Atlantic, to daybreak and a safe landing in a pasture in Ireland.

A somber picture of the legendary Sioux chief, Sitting Bull, crouched alone within the confines of a dark room after defeat, opens this lyrical biography: "In this place of fences, strange smells... where finally I am caught and cannot get free, I close my eyes and am home again." With a turn of the page, readers go from near blackness to a landscape of bright sky and water, where Sioux families gather outside tipis and horses gallop in the background.
