Why We Love It
Sylvia Long has rewritten the words to this classic lullaby and has created a soothing bedtime story celebrating a mother’s love and the beauty of the natural world. Rich details (such as the carrot curtains) and beautiful representations of the mother enjoying her little one will comfort and calm.
Follow-Up Fun

- Sing the words instead of reading.
- Change some of the words to personalize the song for your newborn.
