In the spirit of such bedtime favorites as Emily Winfield Martin's Day Dreamers, here is a quintessential end-of-day by the beach lovingly captured and perfect for reading aloud. This simple, lyrical picture book is as warm, reassuring, and filled with joy as a vacation at the beach. Readers will join a little girl and her siblings as they wind down from a perfect day-hanging up towels, eating dinner, and getting ready for bed-each activity sparking a memory of their day-playing catch with the dog, chasing waves, and looking at sailboats along the shore. And when the lights of the family beach house go off-"In the dusky evening light, a sleepy house says goodnight"-young listeners will be lulled to sleep themselves. | A Lullaby Of Summer Things by Natalie Ziarnik, Picture Books | Indigo Chapters
