The Sleeper Train

by Mick Jackson and Baljinder Kaur

Aboard the Indian sleeper train, everyone is getting ready for bed. But one little girl is too excited to sleep. She thinks it might help to try to remember all the places she has slept in the past, like the beach, her grandparents' house, or a tent in the countryside. This gentle bedtime book feels like a classic. I particularly loved Baljinder Kaur's wonderfully detailed art, which takes readers into a magical dreamland of colors and patterns.
