A magical, lyrical lullaby that explores the magic of the night and a child's first brush with independence. The book first introduces readers to the child's compelling circle of pets-a chicken, turtle, bunny, and lizard-and then invites us to join the child and the animals for a ride on a small slice of the golden moon . . . the lullaby raft. The lullaby itself is quiet, intriguing, and empowering and the haunting and elegant illustrations both extend and compliment the words.
