Goodnight Sounds

A poetic, beautifully illustrated picture book about finding lullabies in the sounds of nature and the world around us.

What sounds help you fall asleep?
Is it the hooting of a great horned owl, hidden in the shadows of an oak tree?
Or the whistling wind slipping through the needles of a pine tree?

Explore nighttime sounds of all kinds, from trilling crickets to train wheels that go clickity-clack, from raindrops on a slick metal roof to the steady ticking of an old clock. Take a journey from the foghorns of San Francisco to the shores of Maine, with stops along the way in a quiet suburb, a bustling city, a sprawling farm, a towering mountain, and a lively pond—and listen for the unique sounds in each place.

With gorgeous art and a strong, onomatopoeic read-a-loud, this soothing picture book will encourage young readers to embrace the sounds they hear around them at night as their own special bedtime lullaby.
