Baby Sleepy Baby.
Written by Atinuke and illustrated by Angela Brooksbank.
Candlewick Books 2021.
Baby Sleepy Baby. It’s bedtime for Sleepy Baby. It’s time to call on the winds, the clouds, the stars, and the moon to sail and rock your little one until dreams take over. Soothing language and deep, moonlit colors, evoke the warmth and tenderness of wrapping a child in nighttime’s embrace. A book that celebrates the moments families share with their sleepy babies at bedtime.
I read this book three times in a row, seeing families I know and love reflected on these pages - such that this book felt incredibly intimate. Angela Brooksbank’s illustrations create a celestial experience alongside Atinuke’s lyrical words of sleepy time love.
