Review Quotes:
"An essential book that acknowledges in the simplest of terms our common humanity." - Kirkus Reviews
"With a gentle and knowing calm, Fox (Time for Bed) provides a compelling exploration of the differences between children that make them unique as well as the common humanity that unites them. In Fox's picture book, divisions of culture, race and geography fall away in light of a global community where smiles, laughter and tears are universally understood. The simple, rhythmic text, written in the second person, is designed to involve the reader directly" - Publishers Weekly
