Its time to sleep its time to sleep the fishes croon in waters deep. The songbirds sing in trees above Its time to sleep my love my love. As children prepare for bed the world around them is also settling down for the night. Animals who live in the jungle the forest the sea--all whisper to their babies a soft refrain: Its time to sleep my love. As comforting as a soft blanket and warm as a goodnight hug Eric Metaxass lullaby is lovingly brought to life by bestselling artist Nancy Tillman (On the Night You Were Born) whose illustrations celebrate the wonders of the natural world and the bonds of family. Its Time to Sleep My Love is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Childrens Book of the Year.
