With simple, childlike verse and her trademark gently drawn characters, Joan Walsh Anglund creates a heartwarming collection of stories and poems for children and parents to share at that most special hour of a child's day - bedtime. Vividly capturing the wonders and joys of childhood, Anglund explores such timeless themes as the fear and excitement of a little ballerina before her first performance, a little girl's impatience to grow bigger, and the joy of an imaginary friend - like a dragon or a princess. In a book that draws on the strengths that have made her work beloved around the world, Joan Walsh Anglund celebrates the love and awe of nature shared by all children.
