Rich imagery, gentle rhythm and soothing repetition will lull your little one to sleep as the tulips close for the night, one by one. In this bedtime story written as an Italian villanelle, poet Gillian Sze makes use of the poetic forms of cyclic pattern and rhyme scheme to create a melodious lullaby.

A young child comes in from picking flowers as the creatures around their home all settle down for the evening. Songbirds curl against their mothers’ sides, the house slumps and sighs low, a hush settles as times slows. And little readers are invited to rest their heads and be soothed to sleep as moonlight falls on eyes that close.

Zoe ★★★★★

The tulips closing one by one on each page is such a clever visual for counting down to bedtime, and the soft rhyme makes it feel like a lullaby. My toddler asks for it every night now.

Emma I. ★★★★★

The gentle rhythm in this board book really does help my toddler wind down before bed. The repetition of the tulips closing one by one has become a soothing nightly ritual for us.
