What a lovely, lovely story...
A story within a story within a story within a story...
From crickets to little children, all must sleep and rest. And in a storm that can be so hard to do when you're afraid! This book shows us that we're never, ever alone.
Beautiful.

Very subtle and repetitive, just right for bedtime
The story starts with a little baby asking his papa for a bedtime story. So his papa starts telling him about the owls in the barn, and the owl asks for a bedtime story, and so on and so forth until we come across the crickets in the house the baby lives in (where a voice could be heard murmuring) who tell about the frogs - who chorus in the rain "Go to sleep! Go to sleep! Go to sleep!"
All the families are connected to each other in one farm, and as the stories go on you can see the weather getting wilder and wilder until the summer rain breaks out.
This is such a calming story.
