As the moon rises, a family steps into the night on a journey toward a new beginning. Along the way, their little girl delights in the wonders of nature, saying lilah tov — "good night" in Hebrew —to the creatures and landscapes they pass. Wherever she looks — on land, in the sky above and even, eventually, in the water below her boat — there are marvels to behold. "Lilah tov to the birds in the trees, lilah tov to the fish in the sea."
Finally, when their travels are finally over, her parents tuck her in tight, safe and ready for dreams in their new home. This lyrical picture book captures how a soothing Hebrew lullaby takes on new meaning for this Jewish family as they travel to their new home. Soft, lush illustrations and gentle text make this an elegant and poetic good night to the world around us.
