        			&quot;Tillman (On the Night You Were Born) expertly swirls together reality and fantasy--the narrator&apos;s child delights in the sight of the decorated tree, the lion lies down with the lamb--as is fitting for such a magical night.&quot; --Shelf Awareness&quot;Handsomely illustrated, this Christmas book is bound to be hyped as the perfect seasonal gift. ...Tillman&apos;s sentimental sensibility and beautiful artwork ensure that this will become a popular choice at holiday time.&quot; --Booklist&quot;A beautiful and timeless book.&quot; --School Library Journal&quot;As the adult speaker of the story nods off in a comfy red chair, the Spirit of Christmas appears, ready to get the narrator in the holiday spirit. What follows is a buoyant, imagistic tribute to the season, as the Spirit lists joys both and intangible, before offering the reminder: &apos;Because it took nothing but love to begin it, / it&apos;s not really Christmas if love isn&apos;t in it.&apos; Tillman&apos;s ethereal illustrations are surreal but captivating.&quot; --Publishers Weekly&quot;Bestselling author Tillman offers a dreamlike interpretation of the collective spirit that permeates the holiday.&quot; --Kirkus Reviews&quot;The wonderful colored illustrations convey a sense of joy and peace.&quot; --Children&apos;s Literature&quot;As in On the Night You Were Born, the words directly address a young listener with comforting, fanciful imagery . . . Culminating in a final scene of a sleeping child in a floating bed under a watchful moon, this gentle, tender offering will buoy children with its strong messages of safety and love.&quot; --Booklist on It&apos;s Time to Sleep, My Love&quot;A luxuriant bedtime retreat for children and parents alike.&quot; --Kirkus Reviews on It&apos;s Time to Sleep, My Love&quot;This is one of those rare baby books that should make both skeptics and sentimentalists of all ages happy.&quot; --Publishers Weekly on On the Night You Were Born&quot;A beautiful tribute to the uniqueness of every child.&quot; --Kirkus Reviews on On the Night You Were Born&quot;Many parents will welcome this opportunity to tell their children how special and loved they are.&quot; --Booklist on On the Night You Were Born
