Descripción editorial
From New York Times bestselling author Jane Yolen comes a lilting lullaby from the bottom of the sea.
Hush, foam rocker,
sleep, wave breaker.
Close your eyes and dream,
tide breaker.
A hush-filled bedtime rhyme for parents to share with their newborns, Merbaby’s Lullaby is an underwater cradlesong written by Jane Yolen and illustrated by Elizabeth O. Dulemba. Join a mermaid as she helps her merbaby to sleep, rocking with the gentle waves, singing with the whispering whales, and settling in with sea stars lighting the way to sweet dreams.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Yolen's gentle rhyming board book features a mother and child mermaid who explore, play, and sleep in their underwater world. In Dulemba's light, chalky illustrations, the mermaids have dappled orange tails and blue hair the mother mermaid's long and flowy, and the child's short and curly. Yolen's verse speaks to the mermaid child: "Sleep, wave maker,/ Close your eyes and dream,/ tide breaker." The two swim among colorful fish, stingrays, whales, and a friendly otter, until the mother tucks the merbaby amid corals and kelps: "Hush, deep diver,/ shush, shell keeper,/ Be your finny/ mother's sleeper." A loving cradlesong for merbabies everywhere. Ages up to 3.
