A beautiful book for sharing at bedtime, showing wild animal families across the world settling for sleep.

A mother sings to her child, describing the ways wild creatures across the world lull their babies to sleep – whales in the sea,fledgling ospreys in their nest, bear cubs in their ice den, seals on the shore, ponies on the heath, the snow leopard family in the high rocks, and tigers in the deepest jungle.

The lyrical story is enriched by Cathy Fisher’s gorgeous animal paintings, realistic yet magical, evoking a sense of tenderness and peace across our wild world.

• A perfect gift book for a new baby or to share with older siblings
• An original lullaby that is also a song of wild nature
• Spectacular paintings of the wild habitats
• A beautiful book that will appeal to all ages
• By the author and illustrator of The Summer Puppy and The Panda’s Child (“to be shared, treasured and revisited.” Just Imagine)
