<I>Up above the earth so far</I><BR> <I>Hang half a moon and one whole star</I><BR> <I>Hang one whole star and half a moon;</I><BR> <I>Nighttime will be coming soon.</I> <BR>And while a young girl sleeps, nighttime deepens all around her -- in the woods and garden, on the ocean, in the city, and on the porch, where her parents sit. <BR>Crescent Dragonwagon's soothing, evocative poem is brought to life by the lush artwork of Jerry Pinkney in this bedtime treasure.
