Sailing Off to Sleep

(3) PS Illustrated by Susan Winter. A young girl staves off sleep by imagining a boat trip to the Arctic. Rhyming verse volleys back and forth between mother and daughter; mother questions her wanderer about her journey ("What about food?" "What if you're lost?") as the child asserts an independent spirit in her responses. The art captures the Arctic of the girl's imagining appropriate to the setting and the gentle tone of this bedtime book.
