Time for Bed, Miyuki

Roxane Marie Galliez

At bedtime, Miyuki keeps finding reasons to remain awake. Her imagination sends her to water vegetables, collect snails, and get ready for a visit from the Dragonfly Queen. Her grandfather accompanies these imagined excursions and gently encourages her to sleep. The book presents Miyuki’s delaying tactics in lyrical prose, with watercolor and colored-pencil art that incorporates Japanese textile patterns.
