city life."
– Kirkus Reviews
About the book: A
beautiful and sweet celebration of a barn at night will help children fall
asleep and also learn more about life on a farm. This after-dark journey out to
the barn, even on the coldest winter evening, can be a warm and welcoming
scene. The young narrator gently details what actually goes on in a barn at
night. Who is awake, who is asleep, and who is just making their first
appearance in the barn? Smells, sounds and sights are quietly revealed to young
readers.
Michelle Houts' lyrical poetry paired with Jen's glowing watercolors create
a warm and wonderful bedtime story - best shared together.
