A book built for the last ten minutes of the day. Bedtime Blessings for Little Ones pairs a short spoken blessing with a full spread of Emily Lex's watercolour — a whale under a paper-sail boat, a knight and a king, a jar of daisies — so the reading slows down to the speed a tired child can follow.

Written and illustrated by Emily Lex for children ages 0 to 8, it gives families a way to end the day the same way every night, which is the part small children actually want. Parents buy one for their own nightstand and a second for the baby shower; it is the rare gift that gets used every single evening.
