A young bunny goes to sleep and dreams of the soothing colors, shapes, sights and sounds of nature.

It's bedtime, that special time when parents tuck their little ones in for the night and lull them to sleep with their favorite lullabies. In this gorgeous book, author-illustrator Julie Downing has selected her favorite lullabies and illustrated each one with expressive watercolor paintings. Parents will delight in the familiar, soothing rhythms of beloved songs like "Rock-a-bye Baby," "Kumbaya," and "Lullaby and Good Night," while little ones are enchanted by fresh and dreamy lullabies, such as "El Coquí" and "Wynken, Blynken and Nod." Each lavish illustration celebrates the precious moments shared between a parent and child, from sighting the first evening star together to sharing a last good-night kiss. Music is included for each lullaby so that parents can sing their young ones to sleep. With comforting words and tunes, lullabies bring parents and children together. Lullaby and Good Night is a book to be shared and treasured, again and again.

Over 25 timeless bedtime ballads collected from all over the world, beautifully illustrated in Hallmark fashion. Includes an introduction, easy piano arrangements, and notes on the origin of each song. More than a songbook, Lullabies Around The World is a great way to learn multiculturalism and harmony through diversity. Available in both hardcover and softcover editions.

Enhanced ebook (includes audio) Take an imaginary journey to unknown lands as you listen to lullabies from around the world (Mali, Louisiana, Japan, Australia, Armenia, Spain...) The earth-toned, dreamlike illustrations reflect both the subject and country of origin of the music. The narrated story is followed by recordings of the songs “Makun” (Mali) and “Dodo bébé” (Louisiana).
