Breathtaking collage art and exquisite rhyming couplets
showcase fantastical dreams as the natural world is prepared for a new day in
this gentle bedtime book.
As the day ends and a little girl is put to sleep by her
mother, night-helper bunnies work their magic to tidy and polish the world. These
helpers paint flowers, dust butterflies, and charge rainbows to make the world
a beautiful place to wake up to. Miki Sato's collage art, which combines paper, textiles,
and embroidery silk, creates a three-dimensional dream world that is rich in
detail and texture. Jennifer Maruno uses soothing rhyming couplets that celebrate
the beauty of nature, creating a uniquely magical world.Author Biography
