Breathtaking collage art and exquisite rhyming couplets showcase
fantastical dreams as the natural world is prepared for a new day
in this gentle bedtime book. As the day ends and a little girl is
put to sleep by her mother, night-helper bunnies work their magic
to tidy and polish the world. These helpers paint flowers, dust
butterflies, and charge rainbows to make the world a beautiful
place to wake up to. Miki Sato’s collage art, which combines
paper, textiles, and embroidery silk, creates a three-dimensional
dream world that is rich in detail and texture. Jennifer Maruno
uses soothing rhyming couplets that celebrate the beauty of nature,
creating a uniquely magical world. ★“A peek into the busy Land
of Nod….Maruno narrates in flawless and immersive rhyming
verse….Readers will linger over each tiny, essential
detail—nothing is extraneous….the text and art are expertly
stitched together, each visible and impactful on their own and
interwoven into a bewitching whole. A perfect bedtime selection for
eye-catching, vibrantly colorful
dreams.”—Kirkus ★ Starred Review ★“[I]nspired
and original….”—Quill & Quire ★ Starred Review
“It’s a cozy, positive bedtime story sure to please parents and
children alike.”—School Library Journal “There’s much to
engage and charm in this whimsical, sweet, and reassuring bedtime
read.”—Booklist “Rhyming couplets create a whimsical melody
while the collage art illustrations will captivate children with
their colorful layers and textures….”—Foreword Reviews
