# While You Sleep - Hardcover

by **Jennifer Maruno** (Author), **Miki Sato** (Illustrator)

**Breathtaking collage art and exquisite rhyming couplets  
showcase fantastical dreams as the natural world is prepared for a new day in  
this gentle bedtime book.**

As the day ends and a little girl is put to sleep by her  
mother, night-helper bunnies work their magic to tidy and polish the world. These  
helpers paint flowers, dust butterflies, and charge rainbows to make the world  
a beautiful place to wake up to.

**Miki Sato**'s collage art, which combines paper, textiles,  
and embroidery silk, creates a three-dimensional dream world that is rich in  
detail and texture. **Jennifer Maruno** uses soothing rhyming couplets that celebrate  
the beauty of nature, creating a uniquely magical world.
