A young black child snuggles into bed and imagines riding through the city upon a Pterosaur on a cold clear winter's night. The Pterosaur soars through the sky to help the child search for the missing peace to a peaceful sleep, finally ending up back home for loving parents to tuck them into bed.
I immediately fell in love with the illustrations. They created the warm glow of a soft winter's night that left me feeling calm and comforted. The text was simple and beautifully phrased. This is a perfect bedtime read.
Parents are depicted as a same sex couple.
