While You Sleep, Little Love (padded)

by Michelle Prater Burke, Anna Abramskaya (Illustrator)

Overview

All is well, Little Love. Good night!

At bedtime, little ones often have a hard time letting go of the day, sometimes for fear of what they are missing while alone in bed. But this delightful board book replaces those fears with reminders that toddlers are loved and cared for throughout the night. Each spread welcomes a new Big and Little pair of matching animals. Big is calmly telling Little Love about all the things that will happen while Little Love is dreaming. . . . Most importantly, God, who never sleeps, will be ever watchful until morning and beyond.

Read an Excerpt

CHAPTER 1

While you sleep, Little Love, the stars will come out

and join with the moonlight to sparkle about.

The darkness will settle like blankets of gray

as God welcomes nighttime and tucks in the day.

each sunflower tall will nod its bright head

and fold every petal down into its bed.

The crickets will fiddle, the fireflies blink.

The bullfrogs will ribbit. The owls will wink.

And then mama bluebird will sing her last peep,

quiet her babies, and nest them to sleep.

While you sleep, Little Love, your kitty will purr

and gather her kittens to snuggle with her.

You wiggly puppy will finally rest.

He'll curl at your feet, feeling happy and blessed.

Your mommy will quietly sit by your bed.

pull up your covers, and kiss your sweet head.

The nightlight will shine upon you and your bear,

and Daddy will hug you and whisper a prayer.

So close those bright eyes while you dream, Little Love,

for God never sleeps and will watch from above.

He who watches ... will neither slumber nor sleep The Lord watches over you – Psalm 121:4–5
