Hush-a-Bye Night
Goodnight Up North
Through lyrical text and lush art, this charming board book brings the feel of an up north evening on the lake to storytime cuddles.
As the sun sets up north and the moon begins to rise over the lake, all kinds of creatures—from the black bear to a tumble of fox kits to a family like yours—begin their nighttime routines. This lyrical lullaby to up north, and the flora and fauna that call it home, is a beautiful ode to the most beautiful land.
