Babies fly back to her,
ready to rest. The moon's almost here.
There's no time to play.
Mama sheep hurries;
Sun's going away. Nighttime is approaching as each animal readies itself for bed in this lyrical picture book text by Patricia MacLachlan. In striking paintings with a calming palette, Tomie dePaola imagines the scene through the eyes of mime Pierrot and his child.
