Now That Night Is Near

‘'Come now, little one, it's time to go to sleep.All the little children are tucked up in bed.Everyone is going to sleep, now that night is near.''

A beautiful, tender bedtime story of how Nature slowly prepares to welcome the night and its serenity, to forget the day's troubles in the caring arms of Sleep. The child is tucked up in her bed, the cat has fallen asleep amidst a plethora of toys, the animals of the farl and the creatures that find shelter in the forest await for the rising of the moon As the moonlight paints the earth in silver colours, we all seek some peace of mind.

Beautifully lyrical illustrations by Marit Tornqvist turn Astrid Lindgren's soothing tale into a treasure.
