| Publisher Description: Time for bed, Mother Earth said. Not for a while, said her wild child. A song, first. I need a song to play in my head before going to bed. So Mother Earth gave her child a song.... But then this wild child wants a snack and PJs and a kiss.... Lynn Plourde's text snaps and crackles like the leaves of fall as Mother Earth gently gets her daughter ready for bed.
