Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In a tender bedtime ritual, a parent elicits wishes from her little one, sparking imaginary journeys together before it's time to sleep.
For all the stars across the sky,
Big and little and bright,
Here's a wish from me to you,
Before we say good night.
"I wish that we could fly like birds!" says Luna when Mama asks her for her nightly wish. So off they go on an imaginary flight together, past mountaintops and fields and over the deep blue sea. Then Luna wishes they could swim like fish through the corals, shrink as small as ants on the vines, and grow as big as giants, stomping down the lane that leads to Luna's very own bed. In a quintessential bedtime story, gentle art and a lyrical text take listeners on lighthearted flights of fancy and offer an ode to the unconditional love between parent and child.
A beautiful new bedtime classic, which celebrates the immeasurable love between a mummy and baby. For all the stars across the sky, big and little and bright. Here's a wish from me to you, before we say goodnight... Every evening, when the sun is fading, Luna and her mother play a game. They close their eyes, make a wish, and imagine themselves on the most incredible of adventures - swimming with the sound of whale song, flying like birds, and gazing over the tallest treetops... Glowing with lyricism, intimacy and love, this beautiful bedtime story celebrates the bond between parent and child, and is brought majestically to life by illustrator Chiaki Okada.
