A Recipe for Bedtime

Illustrated by Sarah Massini
A few simple ingredients are all you need for the perfect bedtime.

Take one cute-enough-to-eat baby,
add a spoonful of kisses,
mix with plenty of cuddles,
and finish with a sweet lullaby.
 
This recipe for a bedtime routine unfolds in the form of an adorable set of step-by-step instructions. By the end, little ones will be all tucked in and drifting off to sleep. Soothing, lyrical text and warmly rendered artwork make this book sweeter than pie!

SARAH MASSINI is the illustrator of Books Always Everywhere, written by Jane Blatt. Sarah's mom always said it was a blessing how paper and a pencil could keep her quiet and out of mischief for hours. Not much has changed. She's still quiet and well-behaved! Drawing has been a life-long habit that has seen her through careers in corporate design, children's book design and now as an illustrator... and illustrating is what she loves doing best. Sarah lives in Sussex with her husband Peter, her young son Mathew, and her utterly mad terrier Tess, who keeps guard as she draws. View titles by Sarah Massini
