"I can only sleep in a blue room," says Alice, awake past her bedtime. Using flowers, tea, an extra quilt, and gentle "lullaby bells," Mama eventually coaxes her to sleep. The moon bathes the cozy bedroom in blue, beautifully shown in the delicate and expressive watercolor, ink, and gouache images that illustrate the soothing text.
