This well-curated collection of lullabies, songs, nursery rhymes, and poetry from primarily American and European sources includes both the familiar ("Hush, Little Baby") and the obscure ("Sweetly Sleep," a traditional Czech carol). Dalton's intricate cut-paper and watercolor illustrations brilliantly stand out against black backgrounds; in conjunction with the text, they inspire reflection and quiet.
