Description
When a child is too excited to fall asleep on the night train, she tries thinking about all the places she’s ever slept in this comforting moonlit adventure.
Just as it’s starting to get dark, a child and her family board the sleeper train, where they’ll travel through the night and reach their destination in the morning. But as the train rocks from side to side, rolling through the vast Indian countryside, the child can’t sleep. It’s all too thrilling! So instead, she thinks of all the different places she has peacefully slept, from that cozy spot on Mom and Dad’s bed, to a seaside hotel, to a tent in a field, to Mom’s childhood room at her grandparents’ house. But will that help her to drift off? In this unique bedtime book, Mick Jackson’s charming narrative voice meets Baljinder Kaur’s richly detailed illustrations, set in her parents’ homeland, for a story sure to usher young listeners off to dreamland.
