Illustrated by
Nikki McClure.
Lyrics to the musician-author's lullaby, downloadable on the publisher's website, make for spare, bedtime-suited text, despite some disjointed page-broken sentences ("Dreams of sand out in some desert wide, / That will blow all day into the night, / And there will come a new dune"). McClure's dreamy torn- and cut-paper art in mostly blues pitch in on the lulling tone.
