  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 1
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

This sweet, rhyming bedtime lullaby is a calming ode to nature.

A loving family embraces their child as night falls and dream time begins. From rivers to eagles, to lions and lambs, to leaves and rain, and to stars and the moon, the soothing sounds of the world become the inspiration for a loving night of restful sleep for a weary baby. This book shares the spirit of shared community and the common values of love and hope. Award-winning and beloved author Lesléa Newman crafts a sweet tale that all families with a young one can appreciate.

Starred Review Kirkus Reviews

A bedtime story bursting with strong, quiet love. Hinting at a stunning sunset, illustrations in deeply vibrant, softly dappled oranges, reds, and purples begin this gentle nighttime story of animal parents and offspring settling in for a night’s rest. . . . Lush illustrations and lulling, playful verse create a warm and wonderful bedtime hug."—starred, Kirkus Reviews
