Sleep Tight! Baby Bedtime by Mem Fox


"I COULD STROKE YOUR SILKY HAIR.

I COULD SIT YOU ON MY KNEE.

I COULD SING YOU ALL THE SONGS MY MOTHER SANG TO ME."

Beloved author Mem Fox captures that magical moment when baby is sleepy and just right for a bit of cuddling before bed. Toes are kissed as Fox's loving mother rocks her baby in her arms and her babe yawns widely. Artist Emma Quay provides soft purple and lavender elephants as storybook stand-ins for a human mother and child, as with gentle endearments baby is moved toward sleep.

Together Mem Fox and Emma Quay give readers one of those fleeting magic moments of parenting.

"I COULD GAZE AT YOU ALL NIGHT."

Read this one with Mem Fox's best-selling Time for Bed.
