Illustrated by
Elizabeth Sayles.
A dreamy pastel palette of pinks, blues, greens, and yellows illustrates a rosy-cheeked mother and baby afloat in a fantasy world of floral and fairy imagery. The lyrical text is based on the words of an English lullaby; the tune was lost to history, and this book includes original music in a simple melody. All in all, it's a pretty package.
