On a summer night, the world is tranquil. Even the crickets deem it too warm to chirp. But suddenly, a girl awakens. In the kitchen, the cat rolls onto its plush paws. A neighbor’s pint-sized dog barks, a coffee-brown rabbit peeks from a hedge, and the leaves of a cherry tree begin to rustle in the breeze. Readers observe and ponder: Who has stirred them all? In this calming bedtime tale, the hush of a balmy summer night is brought to vibrant, enchanted life with the soft steps of bare feet, the pattering of paws, and the glowing, golden light of the moon. One by one, each creature is roused and then gently lulled back to slumber in a lovely and melodic exploration of wakefulness, serenity, and the enigmatic stillness of the night. This exquisitely illustrated children's book is perfect for lulling young readers to sleep! Show more
