A captivating exploration of how a family gets a farm ready for the snow of winter, Sleep Tight Farm lyrically connects each growing season to the preparations at the very end of the farm year. This beautiful and informative book paints a fascinating picture of what winter means to the farm year and to the family that shares its seasons, from spring's new growth, summer's heat, and fall's bounty to winter's well-earned rest. All year long the farm has worked to shelter us, feed us, keep us warm, and now it's time to sleep.

Very Beautiful book. Promotes peaceful sleep with family togetherness and completing jobs. Have not read to my grand daughters yet so could not rate it perfect score. I bought it for myself for our own family homestead to inspire us. Family togetherness, hardwork, living connected to the land and farm animals.
I came across this gorgeous book today while perusing the well curated stacks at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art's fantastic shop. It sat amidst a pile of the year's best picture books and for some reason this one stood out for me. The illustrations and text are perfectly matched to create a feeling of something I feel lately is slipping away in my own life and in the world around - the deliberate slowness of a life tied to the natural world and its rhythms. Surprising that the time of year we find ourselves in within this book is the transition into winter; normally seen as an inward journey but here it's treated more like a celebration of the life-affirming work to be done before the bounty of spring. I hope this book lands in the hands of many adults and children.
This book is worth purchasing for the AMAZING illustrations by Becca Stadtlander, which are gorgeous works of art and deserving of the Caldecott. However, the story falls short. A few of the pages are just confusing (the hoophouse page and the bee hive page - why are we getting everything ready for winter, and then quickly jump back to spring, and then just as quickly jump back to bedtime???) I feel like the story is lacking some organization. I really hope to see more picture books by Ms. Stadtlander because she rocks the house.
