Night is Coming by W. Nikola-Lisa is a sweet and tender picture book that would be perfect for the bedtime routine of many little ones.

Night is coming,
and out among the wildflowers
at the edge of Grandpa’s farm,
you can hear the lambs bleating
as they nestle warm and close.

If you close your eyes and listen,
you’ll hear the clang
of Ginger’s brass bell –
bringing in the cows.
ringing in the night.

And if you follow the road
to Grandpa’s farmhouse.
to the worn, dusky porch,
you can see Grandpa waiting,
watching.
