★"A stunning marriage of text and art that will linger with listeners as they slip into sleep...This melodic lullaby is warm and tender perfection."-- "Kirkus Reviews, starred review"

"What a satisfying circularity from this team, providing reassurance for toddlers and preschoolers while offering parents or educators a natural path to explain how bedtime is bigger than one person's wishes, but actually a rhythm of the universe...A sweet lullaby for story hour that could also kick off a discussion of diurnal and nocturnal rhythms."-- "School Library Journal"

"A tender little book you can easily welcome into your own little one's bedtime routine. Recommended."-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"

"Alaraj's lyrical text and Czub's ethereal watercolors [create] an enchanting bedtime story for the littlest listeners about to enter their own dreamland...The illustrations don't just complement the story, but rather enhance the story and add both detail and depth... A great choice for dialogic reading."

-- "Children's Literature"

"Sweet and simple rhyming stanzas lace the journey to bed... [and] cozy watercolor illustrations depict the peaceful passage from play to rest."-- "Cooperative Children's Book Center, School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison"
