Book Summary:

"In this magical bedtime story, the lyrical narrative echoes a Runaway Bunny – like cadence: “Does everything in the world go to sleep?” the little girl asks. In sincere and imaginative dialogue between a not-at-all sleepy child and understanding parents, the little girl decides “in a cocoon of sheets, a nest of blankets,” she is ready to sleep, warm and strong, just like a tiger. The Caldecott Honor artist Pamela Zagarenski’s rich, luminous mixed-media paintings effervesce with odd, charming details that nonsleepy children could examine for hours. A rare gem." - Amazon.c0m

By Mary Logue and Pamela Zagarenski

Reviews:

"This deeply satisfying story offers what all children crave when letting go--security and a trusted companion." —Kirkus, starred review "Touched with enchantment . . . This may put little ones to sleep, but they'll have a lot to look at before they close their eyes." —Booklist, starred review "Zagarenski's dreamy mixed-media illustrations are as calm and comforting as Logue's understated prose." —Horn Book "Zagarenski's paintings take Logue's story to places marvelously distant in thought and time; each spread holds treasures to find even after several readings." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
