As the sun sets, a serene world unfolds. Animals hurry to their nests, shores, and porches, guided by the rising moon. Through the eyes of Pierrot and his child, witness this tranquil bedtime journey. Will the night bring peace to all?
From the publisher
Illustrations and rhyming text follow an assortment of creatures as they make their way to a nest, the shore, or a porch while the day comes to an end and the moon begins to rise.
