The inspiration for this book occurred one evening when the author, Eugenie Fernandes, was rocking her young granddaughter to sleep. Each illustration is a work of art. Fernandes uses rich and vibrant colors that sweep across the page. She loves circles and swirls, shadows and light. The pictures are full of details which will stimulate vocabulary development and maintain the child's sense of curiosity.
Nature is well represented with animals, trees, flowers, sunlight and showers.
Many of the scenes focus on babies sleeping on soft pillows in cradles. The title page has a child in a cradle suspended in the clouds and reaching for a rabbit that is falling to the ground. The text of this book is written as a poem with a short verse opposite each picture. The text page also has a small, square illustration which is taken from one of the larger illustrations. Children would have fun searching for the origin of the insert.
