Snuggle up and ease your child off to sleep reading Joseph Coelho''s lullaby-like poems. Lyrical, calming and beautifully illustrated, these peaceful poems are a magical way to end the day.

Written by award-winning performance poet Joseph Coelho, Goodnight, Starry Night is a collection of 14 poems that takes readers on a gentle journey into dreamland. Each poem is inspired by a calming work of art, reproduced in the book alongside the heart-warming illustrations of Allison Colpoys.

The book takes its title from Van Gogh''s painting The Starry Night, which inspired Coelho''s evocative poem River Sky:

I gaze upon the starry night
It twists into a river-sky
my every breath, a swirling light
I gaze upon the starry night.

It features poems inspired by David Hockney''s Sleeping Dogs, Vivian Maier''s Woman with Baby and Faith Ringgold''s quilted artwork of Cassie Lightfoot flying against a night sky.

Joseph Coelho''s lyrical poems calm the mind, relax the body and are soothing to the soul, and are guaranteed to inspire the sweetest of dreams.
