Lull a little one to sleep with gentle rhyming verses and a mesmerizing swirl of imagery from the natural world, as a loving parent takes a child on a dreamlike journey.
I give this kiss from me to you,
to keep you safe till morning dew.
At sunrise when the skies turn blue,
I’ll be here to welcome you.
Travel a lush dreamscape world as a father soothes his toddler toward sleep, weaving a quilt of dreams across the roaring seas and through the inky night—and dealing with some big toddler emotions along the way. Sumptuously illustrated by Sandhya Prabhat, this dream-ride of a bedtime book, written by renowned author Chitra Soundar and inspired by ancient Indian lullabies, is sure to leave little ones drifting toward a joyful sleep.
