The Sea of Sleep

(4) PS Illustrated by Jim LaMarche. A mother sea otter cradles her pup against her chest as they fall sleep atop the calm ocean waters. The quiet refrain: "Drifting. Floating. Lightly gliding / On the Sea of Sleep tonight. / Rocking. Swaying. Slowly sailing / On toward morning light." The lyrical bedtime story, suitably illustrated with soft purples and blues, is a little ethereal for the audience.
