Unwrapping some fun pictures

On the ice floe, the polar bear opens an eye and closes it again. Sssh!

While the tired giraffes have a rest…Shhh!

And the sheep? The sheep are not doing anything. They are waiting for the end of the story.

About the book

This delightful bedtime story will lull even the most reluctant sleeper to sleep.  

"Night falls...It is late.  Close your eyes.  Time to sleep."

A small child listens intently as the world shuts down around him.  He envisons the moon tiptoeing up to the sky, a polar bear curled up on an ice floe readying itself for sleep, a lion in pyjamas brushing all of his teeth, and a herd of giraffes snugging down on  soft, pillowy clouds to get some rest,  just to name a few. 

The child's whimsical imagination combined with the simple lyrical text are a perfect combo... one that is guaranteed to lull your child to sleep.  The illustrations are vibrant, humorous, and very kid-friendly.  The book soothes, calms and invites your child on a journey culminating in Shhhhhh! Sleep!

Meet the author/ illustrator

Born in Paris and raised in Morocco, Barroux has an instinctive passion for travel and exploring other cultures. It’s no surprise that he approaches each new book he is illustrating as if it’s the beginning of an adventure. Barroux strives to create unusual artwork, and when creating picture book art, he always tries to surprise the little kid that is inside of him. He studied photography, art, sculpture, and architecture in France at the famous École Estienne and École Boule, and his mastery of these other mediums influences his illustration. He began illustrating by creating linocut images, and continues to try out various techniques in his work – from collages with antique papers, to oil pastels, to interesting color palettes. Despite all of the countries and far-away lands he’s explored, Barroux still believes that life in books is more extraordinary, where dogs can fly and trees are blue.
