2021 Update!
I used this book for a virtual PJ story time tonight and it worked wonderfully. Reading it in person, I was worried that the illustrations might be too involved for a story time. And holding it up in front of a group and panning, it very well might be! But I use a Mevo webcam (from work) for virtual story time and I can zoom in on the pictures as I read the whole spread. It worked so well!! The camera picked up on all the little details and if you were watching you could focus on the whole spread while I read aloud. I will likely try this for an in-person story time (eventually), but I wanted to update my review to reflect how perfectly suited it is to a virtual story time!

Original review!
SO BEAUTIFUL. This is a really wonderful and gentle bedtime story that I think would be a great read for babies on up! The story is so simple that it would be a nice bedtime story for a little one or a story time read aloud. The illustrations are so lush that it would also be an enjoyable read for an older child as well.
