A bedtime journey through many kinds of families

As daylight fades, a procession of animal characters heads home, inviting young readers to wonder where each one is going. Their arrivals open onto the book’s central subject: families in varied forms, gathered at the end of the day for sleep. The board-book format and bedtime setting give this exploration of family diversity a clear, child-friendly frame, while the animals provide a shared thread from one household to the next.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A bedtime read-aloud for babies and preschoolers.
  • For families introducing young children to the many ways families can look.
  • A fit for readers who enjoy animal characters and everyday routines.
