My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep Around the World by Salley Mavor, Rebecca Bond

5.0

My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep Around the World, written by Rebecca Bond and illustrated by Salley Mavor, provides readers with a poetic introduction to the many different ways children in the world go to sleep. In a smaller font, underneath the poem, there is additional factual information about sleeping in that particular country. What makes this book astonishing are the incredibly detailed illustrations, all hand-stitched. One needs to take the time to note the specifics that one finds and the different objects to create the sleeping area. There is additional information about the stitchery, but I would highly recommend watching the video that shows how Salley Mavor made the illustrations. https://youtu.be/MrRK0WPnjVw

This is a beautifully illustrated homage to bedtime around the world, showing a dozen or so sleeping traditions from different countries around the world. The stitched textile artwork is breathtaking and this would make a wonderful bedtime story.
