Song of the Flowers

Stunningly beautiful paper collages illustrate this warm lullaby of a book. It begins in brilliant sunlight, then each page grows dimmer as poppies, tulips, daffodils, and other flora are lulled to sleep by bees, rainbows, and fireflies. By the time the stars appear to say good night, your child may already be in dreamland—and you may be tempted to skim through the pages again for a longer look at the breathtaking art.—Christopher Healy
