Wind says goodnight


Written by Katie Rydell; illustrated by David Jorgensen
1994 Houghton Mifflin Books

Creatures of the night fill the air with song and a girl is unable to fall asleep. The wind tries unsuccessfully to quiet the noises of the night coming from frogs, moths, crickets, and a singing mockingbird. It is not until the wind blows clouds to cover the light of the moon do the creatures stop, and finally the little girl can sleep. Subtle colored-pencil drawings compliment this charming tale making it a perfect read for restless little ones.
