Reviews

Ages 3^-5. Starting with a line from a famous nursery rhyme, this original lullaby poetically describes a child falling asleep. In a tiny boat adrift in swirling waves, a frightened, lonely little girl with an angelically sweet face wonders whether anyone knows she is all alone at sea. But as she views images that speak of the presence of God--the loving face of the full moon, the stars, the dove that flies toward the shore--she is comforted. The illustrations are somber but appropriately peaceful, their subdued hues creating a sleepy-time setting for the text. Jenkins' use of delicate gold leaf to outline the stars, waves, and wind lends a rich luminosity to the paintings that aptly conveys the wonder a child might feel in the presence of the mystery of God. Shelley Townsend-Hudson
