School & Library Binding
(Turtleback Books, Sept. 1, 1993)
FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. In the late 1970s 12-year-old Dara joins a refugee camp in war-torn Cambodia and becomes separated from her family.
Vivid ink and cut-paper illustrations accompany the bedtime story in rhyme of one mother's efforts to keep all the animals--from the mosquito to the elephant--quiet when their noise threatens to wake up her baby.
This book contains a lullaby which asks animals such as a lizard, monkey, and water buffalo to be quiet and not disturb the sleeping baby. 1997 Caldecott Honor Book
