Illustrated by
Kay Chorao.
Lyrical repetitive text encourages a child to fall asleep then dream about nature and its changes throughout the year ("It's time to sleep. / It's time to dream / of lazy summer days...of cool autumn winds"). Soft full-page watercolor, colored-pencil, and gouache illustrations reflect the text's descriptions, while black silhouette spot illustrations show the family's comforting nighttime routine.
