Good Morning, Harry, Good Night, Daddy

Katy Beebe, illustrated by Valeri Gorbachev

During a British family’s evening at home, Harry and Gran return for tea while Daddy begins an overnight job on a sleeper train. The story alternates between father and son: Daddy helps passengers settle in and serves tea, while Harry’s family eats, cares for Baby, and gets ready for bed. By morning, Daddy returns home as Harry starts his day. British words, phrases, and lullabies are woven into this account of a multigenerational household and night work.
