“
With stunning simplicity and the heartfelt affection of
a grandmother for her granddaughter, Shirley Hillard has
written a masterpiece of calming force rarely found in
today’s action-obsessed world. Reminiscent of the
classic “Goodnight Moon” in its Zen-like minimalism…”
Jim Barnes, Independent Publisher.com
“The
perfect bedtime picture book … original and enthusiastically
recommended!” Midwest Book Review
“Even the youngest readers will appreciate this
wonderfully illustrated bedtime book of animals bedding
down for the night. Some artists illustrate for children,
and others like Hillard create works of art. Who’s
not asleep? It’s hard to imagine any child would
be until the final page.” Writers Notes
Notable Award
. “Who’s Not Asleep?” is a good bedtime
book, it is calming for the children. They responded well,
and loved the repetition, in fact, they were saying the
words out loud. The animals are so expressive, they are
wonderfully illustrated.” Kristy Katch,
Director of Pre-School/Kindergarten, Los Feliz Corners
“I
loved it! The art work was wonderful! My class asked me
to read it again.” Holly Weed, kindergarten
teacher, Ft. Worth, TX
” A very sweet story that can help young children
to read. A wonderful, soothing story before bedtime. The
colors are vibrant and the animals very detailed. I think
this is a great book for pre-kindergarten or younger.
My daughter enjoys having it read to her before bedtime.
“ Susanne
Fisher, elementary school teacher, Altadena, CA
“The colors and illustrations are fabulous. I have
a kindergarten student who just loved the book. “Look,
I’m reading!”, she said. Because it is a predictable
book with repeated text, she felt very successful. I love
that.” Julie
Yater, kindergarten teacher, Ft. Worth, TX
“This
is the book my 18 mo. old daughter keeps reaching for
on the book shelf. We have read it over and over and she
always wants to hear it again and again. She imitates
all the animals with me as I read and looks at the last
pages very carefully to make sure all the animals have
gone to sleep. She even likes “Who’s Not Asleep?”
better than “Goodnight, Moon.” Lorelei
Sun, young mother of an 18 mo. old
“A charming tale – children cannot wait to
turn the page! Delightful! I teach a class of 6 yr. old
children with reading deficiencies. They love the repetitive
words – they feel successful at “reading”
each time they open this book.” Minerva
Roberts, Headstart Lead Teacher
