Customer Reviews

Exquisite

As soon as this book by Eric Metaxas, along with its two sister books also illustrated by Nancy Tillman arrived, I ran around to Walter who runs my local bookstore in London, England. His comment was "Exquisite. There is definitely a market for these books in England". Eric's innate love of his daughter, of life, of God flows through the poetry of his lullaby. Three babies are due in my family this year, and all are going to receive a set of these beautiful books.

Perfect for your grandchildren

This is a beautiful book at an excellent price--it still chokes me up when I read it ot my granddaughter.

My New Favorite Children's Book

Nancy Tillman's other book, "On the Night You Were Born" was my favorite to read to my daughter- this new one is just as wonderful. The illustrations are gorgeous andd the story is great to read. Definitely a high quality book. I recommend the set to any new parent.

Perfect

The simple message is: It's time to sleep, my love. The artwork is stunning, done by an award-winning artist who specializes in nature. The animals are accurately depicted, but in dreamland settings. There is no better bedtime message than telling a child s/he is loved.

Heartbreakingly wonderful

For any parent that has ever tried to get their little one to sleep - while falling asleep yourself - this is a gorgeous, heartbreakingly beautiful book. It will become a classic. The artwork is stunning, the story is truly loving. Whether you are a mom or dad, grandma, grandpa or know of a little one out there, you will find this book a treasure.
