Book Details
When the moon rises high and the stars twinkle, it is bedtime for the baby animals of the Indian forest. But tonight, when the skies turn dark and the night grows stormy, the little ones can't sleep. SWISH-SWISH! CRACK-TRACK! FLASH-SNAP! goes the storm. Only Mama Elephant with her words of wisdom can reassure them. “You’re safe with me.”
“A perfect bedtime picture book. A sleep-time staple for toddlers”
-The Guardian
“British-Indian writer Chitra Soundar addresses children’s universal concerns with reassurance. Yet this original tale’s most memorable traits are the whorls and lines of Mistry’s frankly mesmerising illustrations. You’re Safe With Me certainly stands out among the simple, brightly coloured drawings that are hallmarks of the genre”
-Cambridge Evening News, 5 STARS
