My 2-year-old daughter loves this book, and so do we! It is the adorable nighttime story between a grandmother and her little granddaughter about how the flowers fold up their petals at night and how the fairies come to wake them in the morning. There is a wonderful analogy between the fairies/flowers and grandmother/granddaughter that will make any child feel very special. Our little girl likes to read it over and over and over again (Again! Again!) and because the text has such a lovely rhythm and meter I actually enjoy reading it 27 times in a row! The words are calming and soothing, too, so this is perfect for a bedtime story. My daughter also likes to quote this book - pulling the blankets up to her chin to "keep out the chilly night air" or telling me to "Shower her with kisses." The illustrations are also delightful and depict beautiful flowers and fairies with butterfly wings. The art is detailed enough so that you see something new on each reading, but with clean lines to please young eyes. In conclusion, this is a sweet and beautiful book that our little girls will cherish.
