Description

A stunning bilingual story by award winning author and illustrator Yuyi Morales. As the long day comes to an end, Mother Sky fills a tub with falling stars and calls, "Bath time for Little Night!" Little Night answers from afar, "Can't come. I am hiding and you have to find me, Mama. Find me now!"

Una impresionante historia bilingüe de la galardonada autora e ilustradora Yuyi Morales. Cuando el largo día llega a su fin, Mother Sky llena una tina con estrellas fugaces y grita: "¡Hora del baño para Little Night!" La Nochecita responde desde lejos: "No puedo venir. Me escondo y tienes que encontrarme, mamá. ¡Encuéntrame ahora!".

Starred Review

Children will delight in Little Night's dreamy world and will want to read about her unique, yet still familiar, nighttime ritual again and again.

School Library Journal

Full-bleed spreads with luminous and rich hues of evening sky-blues, reds, and pinks-are painted in flowing sweeps of color, which illuminate and animate the glorious text. They are juxtaposed with the dark earth tones of cherubic Little Night and Mother Sky, and the effect is dreamlike and peaceful. A treasure for bedtime, or anytime.
