Baby, Sleepy Baby cover

A bedtime lullaby for the special baby in your life.

Baby, sleepy baby, I'll sing down the stars
Till they dance right into your room.

A beautiful and lyrical book that celebrates the warmth and tenderness of wrapping baby in night-time's embrace. Based on a Nigerian lullaby sung to Atinuke by her father, this story delights in the magical moments shared with a whole family and their baby at bedtime.
