    About this ebook

    As comforting as a soft blanket and warm as a goodnight hug, Eric Metaxas's lullaby It's Time to Sleep, My Love is delightfully brought to life by bestselling artist Nancy Tillman (On the Night You Were Born), whose illustrations celebrate the wonders of the natural world, and the bonds of family.

    It's time to sleep, it's time to sleep,

    the fishes croon in waters deep.

    The songbirds sing in trees above,

    "It's time to sleep, my love, my love."

    As children prepare for bed, the world around them is also settling down for the night. Animals who live in the jungle, the forest, the sea—all whisper to their babies a soft refrain: It's time to sleep, my love.

    It's Time to Sleep, My Love is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

      In this soothing bedtime book from author Eric Metaxas and illustrator Nancy Tillman, a gentle rhyming text - "The songbirds sing in trees above, / It's time to sleep, my love, my love... / So go to sleep, my sleepy child, / the tiger whispers in the wild" - is paired with somewhat surreal mixed media artwork, that successfully evokes a dreamlike landscape. Sleepiness - feeling sleepy, gently commanding that the listener "go to sleep" - is repeatedly invoked in the narrative, which also emphasizes the enfolding nature of a parent's love.Nancy Tillman is a name that one immediately associates with early "reassurance" type picture-books - her On the Night You Were Born seems to have been very well received - and I somehow had the idea that she was the author here, rather than Eric Metaxas. Perhaps because it is her name listed at the top? In any case, I appreciated It's Time to Sleep, My Love, even though its style of artwork - digitally created, and then embellished with textural elements - isn't really my 'cup of tea,' because I think it succeeds as a sleepy-time book.

      This is a lullaby in book form. It is soothing with sweet rhymes and tranquil imagery. The surreal illustrations feature twinkles on most pages that look like you are really among the stars as you read it.
