squeak-creak squeak-creak
Or your brother softly breathing above you?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . . Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . .

This soothing picture book describes nighttime sounds of all kinds, from trilling crickets to train wheels that go clickity-clack, from raindrops on a slick metal roof to the steady ticking of an old clock.

Marvel at the magical goodnight sounds all around us and be inspired to embrace your own special bedtime lullaby with this poetic, beautifully illustrated picture book from Debbie S. Miller and Michelle Jing Chan.

Debbie S. Miller has written many acclaimed children’s books, including The Great Serum Race, Are Trees Alive?, and Arctic Lights, Arctic Nights. As a child growing up near San Francisco, she loved the harmonic sound of foghorns as she fell asleep. She now lives in Sitka, Alaska, where bald eagles chitter in the forest and the soothing sound of raindrops on the roof help her fall asleep.
