Day Is Done with CD
by Peter Yarrow
Illustration by Melissa Sweet

Peter Yarrow follows the blockbuster success of "Puff, the Magic Dragon" with a picture book version of his beautiful song, Day Is Done. As night falls, animal and human parents everywhere tenderly tuck their children into bed. In the darkness, each child--raccoon, doe, rabbit, field mouse, and a little boy - wonders: "Will I be safe? Will you be there for me?" And every mommy and daddy responds with the comforting words of Yarrow's refrain: "I am here."
 
Caldecott Honor-winning artist Melissa Sweet has created gorgeous images that celebrate the loving bond between parent and child, as well as the connection between all creatures of the earth.

In Day Is Done, Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary fame has transformed one of his songs into a delightful children's book. The book carries a powerful message and encourages children to try to live without fear, even though the world can be a frightening place. The book also includes a CD with a version of the song and two bonus songs by Yarrow and his daughter, Bethany.

Since the book is based on a song, it contains repetitive, soothing verses that are perfect for reading aloud. The soft colors in the illustrations will capture your child's interest, and will add to the overall feeling of calm. The sweet images of families will also be familiar and relaxing for your child.

My nephew Joshua loved this book. He said that the colors were "pretty", and I found it to be a perfect book to use when putting him to bed. Since the book ends with the child going to bed, Joshua and I finished the book with a big hug, and he was happy to say "night night".
