I always give books as gifts to new babies and their families and I just discovered my new go-to board book!
BEDTIME WITH MOMMY
By Nancy I Sanders with illustrations by Felia Hanakata
Endgame Press 2021
Padded board book for ages 0-4
Setting: world regions
The story begins…
It’s bedtime in the ARCTIC.
We’re cozy in our den.
My mommy reads
A book to me.
Travel the world as animal mama’s put their little ones to bed. From the Arctic to the jungle, soft and lovely verses feature kid-favorite animals such as otters, sloths, and monkeys snuggling, rocking, and hugging as bedtime nears. The charming illustrations are warm and sweet, conveying love and safety. The final spread shows a human child and her mother’s nighttime routine as they sing a hymn and pray.
This very special board book is the perfect gift for new babies. It is a heartwarming, faith-filled read-aloud which is certain to become a bedtime classic. I’m hoping there will be a sequel!
Oh Claire, I just adore these photographs!! So precious!! Thanks so much for sharing the good news and so glad you love the book!!
