Description
|
|
|
|
Promising that she will be there to protect him no matter what, a mother tucks her son into bed and tells him she will chase away robbers, vacuum up monsters, and tell off any scolding characters in his dreams. Then she assures him that he is already far better protected by the presence of a kind, wise, loving God. This rhyming bedtime book for prereaders, from the National Book Award–winning author of The Book of the Dun Cow, is illustrated with pastel drawings alternately fearful and triumphant. "Oh, please, why must I be too old for someone to read this dear rhyme at my bedtime? Walt Wangerin's flight of fancy is full of love, and that is what the listener cannot help but hear."—Jan Karon
