Reminds me of the fabulous big brother Charlie of "Charlie and Lola") Highly recommended for all wee ones who fear what nighttime may bring. We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' continuous connection to Country, waters, skies and communities.

This book originally belonged to my little sister, and I remember it well due to the countless times she made me read it to her. We celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories, traditions and living cultures; and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. I loved how the story centers on an older brother helping his sister overcome her reluctance to fall asleep (for fear she'll have nightmares) by showing her all the things that are eagerly awaiting the morning--all happy thoughts for her to focus on so her mind will drift off to sleep worry-free. This is a beautiful, gentle, bedtime story for any small child who is waking and having nightmares or is a bit scared of the dark.

This could help young children who have an older sibling as a guardian to relate to this story more. The story itself is sweet, but I think the illustrations are what make it a warm and cozy feel book.Joyce Dunbar's wonderfully reassuring narrative is beautifully complemented by Debi Gliori's warm and tender illustrations, creating the perfect story to banish night-time fears and help any young child drift peacefully into sleep. The bread and honey and oats and milk and apples in the kitchen are all waiting to be made into breakfast for brother and sister to share. Joyce Dunbar knows just how to set the scene for sleep, and Debi Gliori's charming, expressive bunnies are very, very cute.
