Night Blooming Jasmine
The rhyming lines and twilight-toned watercolors of this perfect bedtime story about the magic of nighttime will lull any child to sleep. When the climbing jasmine vine outside her window calls to her, Jasmine rises from her sleep and heads downstairs to look outside; she notes the nighttime noises of the house—creaking floors, the drumming purr of a cat—along the way. Lyrical descriptions—an owl’s eyes “two moons”; the night sky “a shawl of sparkling stars”—complement the detailed, shadowy illustrations.
