      This is a lullaby in book form. It is soothing with sweet rhymes and tranquil imagery. The surreal illustrations feature twinkles on most pages that look like you are really among the stars as you read it.
    • 3/5
      In this soothing bedtime book from author Eric Metaxas and illustrator Nancy Tillman, a gentle rhyming text - "The songbirds sing in trees above, / It's time to sleep, my love, my love... / So go to sleep, my sleepy child, / the tiger whispers in the wild" - is paired with somewhat surreal mixed media artwork, that successfully evokes a dreamlike landscape. Sleepiness - feeling sleepy, gently commanding that the listener "go to sleep" - is repeatedly invoked in the narrative, which also emphasizes the enfolding nature of a parent's love.Nancy Tillman is a name that one immediately associates with early "reassurance" type picture-books - her On the Night You Were Born seems to have been very well received - and I somehow had the idea that she was the author here, rather than Eric Metaxas. Perhaps because it is her name listed at the top? In any case, I appreciated It's Time to Sleep, My Love, even though its style of artwork - digitally created, and then embellished with textural elements - isn't really my 'cup of tea,' because I think it succeeds as a sleepy-time book.
