Illustrated by
Matt James.
Stunning and highly original acrylic paintings depict a little girl's nightly rituals in this gentle and lyrical bedtime book. The incorporation of the lullaby "At the Gate of Heaven (A la puerta del cielo)" is a bit jarring but results in magical double-page spreads of angels soaring through the Milky Way and flying around the moon. Music for the lullaby is appended.
