Drift into dreamland with lyrical poems inspired by works of art

This magical bedtime collection from award-winning Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho transforms famous artworks into soothing lullaby-like poems perfect for ending the day peacefully. Each of the 14 gentle poems is inspired by a calming work of art—from Van Gogh's swirling Starry Night to David Hockney's peaceful Sleeping Dogs, Vivian Maier's tender Woman with Baby, and Faith Ringgold's dreamy quilted artwork of Cassie Lightfoot flying against the night sky.

Beautifully illustrated by Allison Colpoys, this unique book pairs each artwork with Coelho's lyrical poetry that calms the mind, relaxes the body, and soothes the soul.

More than just a bedtime book, this thoughtful collection introduces children to diverse artists and art forms. With expert advice from art psychotherapist Mary Rose Brady on the science of sleep and how to facilitate sweet dreams, this is both a celebration of art and poetry and a practical guide to peaceful bedtimes.

Suitable for children aged 3-6 years.

Format: 40 pages, hardcover, full colour illustrations
