Aprašymas

From the award-winning author of Layla's Happiness and a dynamic cut-paper artist making her debut, this fresh, collage-style bedtime story shares the feelings of working parents everywhere, while grounding mother and daughter in deepest love.

Mommy and Daddy have an adventurous and lively daughter, Rosa, who is a joy to behold. Both parents work, but between them, things are usually manageable. However, when Daddy goes off on a business trip, Mommy has had a long day, and Rosa has energy to spare. The balances tip, and Mommy, who can't get Rosa to sleep without the soothing storytelling of her husband, needs a time out. Not a declarative one that will upset Rosa, of course, but just a down beat in which she can find her breath.

Beautifully told and highly relatable, the melodious text from Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie and the gorgeous, textured images from Mirlande Jean-Gilles accomplish what they aim to do: soothingly carry readers into a place of tranquility and rest.
