How Sleep Found Tabitha

Sheila Martindale is poetry editor of Canadian Author and Bookman and
the author of No Greater Love.

When Tabitha cannot sleep, she imagines all the wildlife around her West
Coast home, and where they are sleeping—the whale, the eagle, the
frog, the horse, the snake, the seal, and the rabbit—to try to get to
sleep. Nothing works. But soon sleep does find Tabitha, in an unexpected
and charming way.

Maggie de Vries has written a wonderful bedtime story, with gentle
prose that will lull a youngster to sleep. Sheena Lott’s illustrations
are simply beautiful. This is a book to treasure. Highly recommended.
