A father expresses his love for his son through a rhyming nighttime song. Their relationship is compared with powerful images: a rocket launching into space, a whale moving across the ocean, and fireworks in the night sky. The book presents a father-and-son bond through energetic sounds and mixed-media illustrations, while framing the verses as a bedtime rhyme.
