Mother Sky tells daughter Little Night that it is bedtime. Like any child, Little Night wants to play a little longer and engages her mama in a game of hide-and-seek. Mother Sky searches hidden corners and finds Little Night camouflaged behind a dark hill. Sweeping her up, she bathes her in a tub of stars. Wrapped in her towel, Little Night hides again, begging Mother Sky to find her. The ritual is played out again and again while the sun sets. Soon it is time for Little Night to take her place in the evening sky, stars in her hair and moon ball under her arm. Sumptuous paintings with celestial details illuminate a dreamlike bedtime story. (Ages 3–6)

As the long day comes to an end, Mother Sky fills a tub with falling stars and calls, "Bath time for Little Night!" Little Night answers from afar, "Can't come. I am hiding and you have to find me, Mama. Find me now!" Where could Little Night be? Down a rabbit hole? In a blueberry field? Among the stripes of bees? Exquisitely painted and as gentle as Little Night's dress crocheted from clouds, this is a story to treasure.
