Miyuki's imagination peaks at bedtime, when she remembers all the things she has to do before she can possibly go to bed: she needs to water the vegetables, gather snails, and prepare for the arrival of the Dragonfly Queen. Her patient grandfather follows along on her adventures, gently reminding her, "Miyuki, it’s time for bed." Finally, her creative ideas guide her towards a cozy place to curl up, where she remembers one more thing she needs: a story...
In this beautiful story about family, nature, and love, young children and their parents find a welcome companion for their own bedtime journey. Dreamy illustrations from Seng Soun Ratanavanh capture Miyuki's daydreams, as well as hints about Japanese culture. For any child who has wanted to delay bedtime — and any caretaker who's tried to hurry it along — this charming book will feel as cozy as a snuggly blanket.
