Critic Reviews

“"Tillman ( On the Night You Were Born ) expertly swirls together reality and fantasy--the narrator's child delights in the sight of the decorated tree, the lion lies down with the lamb--as is fitting for such a magical night." -- Shelf Awareness "Handsomely illustrated, this Christmas book is bound to be hyped as the perfect seasonal gift. ...Tillman's sentimental sensibility and beautiful artwork ensure that this will become a popular choice at holiday time." -- Booklist "A beautiful and timeless book." -- School Library Journal "As the adult speaker of the story nods off in a comfy red chair, the Spirit of Christmas appears, ready to get the narrator in the holiday spirit. What follows is a buoyant, imagistic tribute to the season, as the Spirit lists joys both and intangible, before offering the reminder: 'Because it took nothing but love to begin it,/ it's not really Christmas if love isn't in it.' Tillman's ethereal illustrations are surreal but captivating." -- Publishers Weekly "Bestselling author Tillman offers a dreamlike interpretation of the collective spirit that permeates the holiday." -- Kirkus Reviews "The wonderful colored illustrations convey a sense of joy and peace." -- Children's Literature "As in On the Night You Were Born , the words directly address a young listener with comforting, fanciful imagery . . . Culminating in a final scene of a sleeping child in a floating bed under a watchful moon, this gentle, tender offering will buoy children with its strong messages of safety and love." -- Booklist on It's Time to Sleep, My Love "A luxuriant bedtime retreat for children and parents alike." -- Kirkus Reviews on It's Time to Sleep, My Love "This is one of those rare baby books that should make both skeptics and sentimentalists of all ages happy." -- Publishers Weekly on On the Night You Were Born "A beautiful tribute to the uniqueness of every child." -- Kirkus Reviews on On the Night You Were Born "Many parents will welcome this opportunity to tell their children how special and loved they are." -- Booklist on On the Night You Were Born”
