Praise for the book
This picture book is soooo much more than a picture book!
If you read the book with your child, you will notice the close bond that develops between you and your child. If you read the book with several children, you will see how they get closer to one another and yet are still completely immersed in their picture book world of discovery. The book is simply enchanting. Marie Voigt’s illustrations are more than dreamy! The pictures take children on a journey that they often continue to dream about. That way, they get to quietly immerse themselves in their own dream world with a feeling of being loved and protected. The entire book, whether day or night, is a great way to create rituals. But the best thing of all is reading the book together, because it is this closeness and togetherness that ultimately strengthens and creates that feeling of trust. Absolutely recommended!

Sleep Tight, Shine Bright
The day is not the only time that shapes a child’s growth — equally important is the night, when the day’s experiences are processed. This special picture book beautifully illustrates this idea through the unique concept of a reversible “flip book”. With love and warmth, the book highlights the key moments and elements of life, supporting the children in all their endeavours and encouraging them to believe in themselves.
A beautifully atmospheric picture book with participatory elements, this story transforms children’s dreams and wishes into imaginative words and images, capturing the magic of both day and night, whilst helping to establish a close, trusting bond between reader and child.
