A Caldecott Medal-winning bedtime classic, available in a board book edition for the first time. Susan Marie Swanson’s elegant prose and Beth Krommes’s spectacular illustrations open up a nighttime world where ordinary objects become beautifully illuminated. Images of a key, a toy, a bear, and a book leap from the pages as we’re reminded that even when night arrives, the sun’s warm light never truly leaves us. A spare, patterned text and glowing pictures explore the origins of light that make a house a home in this bedtime book for young children. Naming nighttime things that are both comforting and intriguing to preschoolers—a key, a bed, the moon—this timeless book illuminates a reassuring order to the universe.

My niece and nephew did enjoy the pictures in this one, and a breathless "Wow," even escaped from my niece when we got to the last page in the book. She thought the pictures were beautiful and impactful, and I think...

This 2009 Caldecott Medal winner really is a classic in the making and my real regret is that this wasn't around when my daughter was a baby! This book is a sophisticated alternative to Goodnight Moon - good news for all you haters out there ;-) I've never encountered anything like the illustration...
