Reach for this book when the world feels too loud and your child is struggling to settle into the quiet of the night. It is the perfect antidote to 'fomo' (fear of missing out) at bedtime, as it gently shows that the entire community is winding down together. The story follows a rhythmic progression through a city, from the bakery to the fire station, as lights go out one by one. It validates that while the world is full of interesting activity, there is a natural, peaceful time for everything to come to an end. Eve Rice uses a soothing, repetitive structure that acts like a lullaby for the eyes and ears. Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers, the book emphasizes a sense of communal security. By showing that even the busy bakers and the watchful firemen eventually say 'goodnight,' it models healthy sleep transitions and provides immense comfort to children who worry about what they might be missing when they close their eyes.
