    Written by Dee Leone

    Illustrated by Bali Engel

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Night falls, and the world sings a lullaby in this beautifully imagined picture book. The lush illustrations and gentle, rhyming text will lull young readers to sleep.

    Shh—listen. Can you hear the quiet, loving sounds of the nighttime world? From moths fluttering their powdery wings, to a nightingale’s sweet trills, to swaying willow trees softly shushing, shushing everyone to sleep, this rhythmic, rhyming lullaby will soothe and calm little ones. The tender, nature-filled bedtime scenes sweep across land, sky, and sea, with animal parents everywhere tucking in their children. A final scene featuring a mother and her baby brings the whole story back home.

    Ages 3+ | Publisher: Sterling Children’s Books | 2018 | ISBN-13: 978-1454921394

      What a lovely book. My youngest grandson takes a little longer to fall asleep. This sounds like the perfect book to lull him to sleep. Thank you so much for featuring this book. As well as introducing this new Author to me.

      Young kids will appreciate the night better knowing how it falls asleep. The illustrations are soothing and lovely. My grandsons would enjoy having this book read to them.
