In this tender poem, Reeve Lindbergh and Jill McElmurry use an everwidening focus to show children the vast world outside their beds -- and all the love and comfort to be found there.
"A honey of a poem, artwork at once timeless and innovative, and a sweetly optimistic message distinguish this soothing bedtime book."
-Booklist starred review

"Bedtime reads lie thick upon the ground, but for its comforting message, flowing text, warm sentiment, and jewel-like art this comes close to such standards as Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon or Kate Bank's "And If the Moon Could Talk."
-Kirkus Reviews.
