While Everyone Is Sleeping
Reviewed by Kelly Keller
As a former homeschool mom, I appreciated Sarah’s attention to giving our “creatures” their proper names. Along the course of Little Shrew’s journey, she encounters moths, beetles, katydids, crickets, fireflies, centipedes, and more. She even finds herself amidst a patch of moonflowers, which gladly open to the moon above. The same flowers close up tight as the moon yields to sunrise.
