Like Goodnight Moon and Time for Bed, this lyrical and soothing picture book from an award-winning author/illustrator team is sure to become a bedtime favorite.

Sometimes bedtime feels like a dark cave in the gloomy woods—like it's about to be you and no one else until morning. But this gentle, lovely book helps children remember that they are never alone. Not only is a parent probably right down the hall, but they are also among animals and neighbors, near the rumble of cars, the twinkle of stars, and even the reassuringly humming fridge.

Newbery Honor-winning author Ingrid Law has created a loving lullaby that will comfort even the most anxious of little ones, and acclaimed artist Xin Li's pictures delight with their charm and warmth.
Ingrid Law is the New York Times bestselling author of three novels for young readers, Savvy, Scumble and  Switch. Ingrid's books have been placed on more than thirty state reading lists, and have earned accolades from Publishers Weekly, Oprah's reading list, the Today show's Al Roker's Book Club for Kids, and the SmithsonianSavvy was named a Newbery Honor Book in 2009. Ingrid is a huge fan of words and stories, of small towns and big ideas. She lives in Colorado, where she writes full-time. View titles by Ingrid Law
XIN LI is an illustrator and picture-book creator. She grew up in China and currently lives in Norway. She studied design and worked for software companies for more than a decade. After having her daughter, Xin realized that her true passion lies in creating art and telling stories. View titles by Xin Li
