I may have started a new trail here! Lullabies! I did a quick search of past blogs with no results, but you never know, there easily could be one or two in past posts! At any rate, this trail is either starting or continuing with May the Stars Drip Down, by Jeremy Chatelain and illustrated by Nikki McClure. Beautiful paper cut designs here, and a mother's soft lullaby as her child drifts off to sleep.

Here's a Pete Seeger song I was not familiar with: One Grain of Sand: a Lullaby (words and music by Seeger) with paintings by Linda Wingerter. (Be sure to read the information included about her, she's not the first in the family to do illustrations for Pete Seeger). A nice journey around the world.

Instead of the child being lulled to sleep in Northern Lullaby, by Nancy White Carlstrom and illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon, this time he is saying good night to the natural world around him. Wonderful illustrations.

Just how does a baby sleep in the city? Very well it seems ... until ... sorry, no spoilers here! Be sure to read City Lullaby, by Marilyn Singer and illustrated by Carll Cneut, out loud, it has a nice rhythm.
