You Are Not Alone

Like Goodnight Moon and Time for Bed, this lyrical and soothing picture book from an award-winning author/illustrator team is sure to become a bedtime favorite.

Sometimes bedtime feels like a dark cave in the gloomy woods—like it's about to be you and no one else until morning. But this gentle, lovely book helps children remember that they are never alone. Not only is a parent probably right down the hall, but they are also among animals and neighbors, near the rumble of cars, the twinkle of stars, and even the reassuringly humming fridge.

Newbery Honor-winning author Ingrid Law has created a loving lullaby that will comfort even the most anxious of little ones, and acclaimed artist Xin Li's pictures delight with their charm and warmth.
