Sleep, My Bunny

From the treasured creator of Max and Ruby comes a soothing, quintessential lullaby of a book for the very young.

The owls and the crickets are singing together.

Outside the window, night falls in a vivid, expressionistic ode to Van Gogh. But inside the cozy house, in rooms lit with soft pastels, parents guide their little bunny through a universal routine: eating supper, putting toys away, taking a bath, reading a story, listening to a song. With gorgeous artwork and a simple poetic narrative offering the perfect script for a reassuring voice, Rosemary Wells gently ties nature’s rhythms to familiar ritual, creating a bedtime read-aloud certain to lull every small child into slumber.

Rosemary Wells has written and/or illustrated more than 120 books for children and has received many awards.
