My comments:Wow. Just wow.
Goodreads: A gorgeous bedtime book from an award-winning creator
From the celebrated creator of Plume and The Blue Hour comes another enchanting animal book. Countless cozy animals are settling in for the night, but they all sleep in different ways. A bat dreams upside down, a hedgehog snuggles into a pile of leaves, and a humpback whale spins in its sleep like a ballerina.
With its poetic language and lush illustrations, Sweet Dreamers will dazzle young readers as they drift off to sleep themselves.

Slung like a hammock,
the sloth dreams
of spring-loaded sprinters,
of rockets blasting off,
of pump-action spinning tops,.
When the stopwatch starts,
our dreaming racer
doesn't move
an inch.
The horse dreams standing up,
in the middle of the herd.
She never loses her footing,
although her thoughts break free.
Puffing up her feathers
in a quilted hollow,
the grouse dreams under the snow.
She spends the night in secret
