by Kelly Paul Briggs. Imagine a snowy evening on a distant island a hundred years ago. The lighthouse keeper and his family are warm and secure. All around the island, every creature was settling in for the night; the farm animals in the barn, the wild creatures in their burrows, and the children in a warm bed, watched over by loving parents. In soothing cadences and exquisitely rendered illustrations, Kelly Paul Briggs recalls a time of simple pleasures and carries readers of all ages to that wonderful moment when it’s time to pull up the covers and look forward to a night’s sleep and a bright new day. Ms Briggs’ childhood included many visits to Maine islands. She has sailed extensively in Penobscot bay and currently lives in the coastal town of Camden, Maine.
