Bookroo's summary
A little girl, wide awake and full of questions, wonders if everything in the world goes to sleep. Through a tender exchange with her parents, she discovers a cocoon of warmth and strength, ready to embrace sleep like a tiger. As she settles into her nest of blankets, the enchanting illustrations invite young readers to explore a world of dreams and imagination. Will she find the peace she seeks in the night? This magical bedtime tale offers a soothing journey into the realm of sleep, where even the most wakeful can find rest.
From the publisher
2013 Randolph Caldecott Honor Award
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.
