description: For over one hundred years, children have been lulled to sleep by Eugene Field's lilting lyrics recounting the voyage of Wynken, Blynken and Nod, who set off in a wooden shoe to sail "on a river of crystal light, into a sea of dew."Johanna Westerman sets her picture book interpretation of this beloved bedtime poem in a moonlit Dutch landscape. Her fisherman, three children dressed in nightclothes and their fey little cat, navigate a sturdy sabot across the starry sky on what is indeed - "all so pretty a sail."The artist's muted palette captures the night's special luminosity, producing illustrations that are as soothing to the eyes as Field's verses are to the ears. The result is a bedtime book that will send little ones off to pleasant dreams of the "wonderful sights that be."
