This book is near perfect. The illustrations are spot on, and it reads more like a lyrical poem than a typical picture book. I almost want it to be a song, but it is okay that it’s not. It’s a bedtime book, without ever mentioning bedtime. LOVE IT! By the way, my favorite illustration is by far the dragon.

This book is an adorable modern illustration of an older lullaby. The language of the lullaby is a bit clunky at times, but flows with an enjoyable cadence and rhythm. Castro's Nordic-themed illustrations are peppy and warm, bringing a wonderful sense of adventure and coziness to the book!

I received this book free through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
