Illustrated by Mique Moriuchi. 32 p., 2005. Sometimes all that's needed at bedtime is a caring adult's presence and a reassuring metaphor. In this sweet book, the adult narrator gives lots of assurance that s/he will stay nearby, and describes the night as "a blanket that helps the earth to sleep," uniting the child with all the gentle creatures in the world who are under it. With its colorful, childlike, soothing illustrations, this book offers a sense of safety and calm at bedtime. Ages 0-5
