# A Lullaby of Summer Things - Hardcover

by **Natalie Ziarnik** (Author), **Madeline Valentine** (Illustrator)

**In the spirit of such bedtime favorites as Emily Winfield Martin's _Day Dreamer_s_,_ here is a quintessential end-of-day by the beach lovingly captured and perfect for reading aloud.**

This simple, lyrical picture book is as warm, reassuring, and filled with joy as a vacation at the beach. Readers will join a little girl and her siblings as they wind down from a perfect day--hanging up towels, eating dinner, and getting ready for bed--each activity sparking a memory of their day--playing catch with the dog, chasing waves, and looking at sailboats along the shore. And when the lights of the family beach house go off--_"In the dusky evening light, a sleepy house says goodnight"-_\-young listeners will be lulled to sleep themselves.
