About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about the dark or needs a gentle, sensory transition into sleep. It is particularly effective for toddlers who find comfort in the idea that a parent's love remains constant even when they are apart or in different rooms.

With its rhythmic prose and focus on the cyclical nature of day and night, this book provides a sense of security and wonder. It is a perfect choice for establishing a calming bedtime ritual that emphasizes the enduring connection between parent and child through the metaphor of music.
