About this ebook
A captivating exploration of how a family gets a farm ready for the snow of winter, Sleep Tight Farm lyrically connects each growing season to the preparations at the very end of the farm year. This beautiful and informative book paints a fascinating picture of what winter means to the farm year and to the family that shares its seasons, from spring's new growth, summer's heat, and fall's bounty to winter's well-earned rest. All year long the farm has worked to shelter us, feed us, keep us warm, and now it's time to sleep.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great story, told by someone who LIVES on a farm. Author's brief endnote also helpful.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hits my nostalgia button really hard, with a modern sensibility for farm families. Lovely.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A farm family prepares for winter in this lovely picture-book from author Eugenie Doyle and illustrator Becca Stadtlander. As they prepare each field and structure - the strawberry patch, the chicken coop, and so on - for the coming snows, they also bid them goodnight. By the time the weather has turned, and the world is blanketed in white, they are ready for the coming season...Doyle, who makes her picture-book debut with Sleep Tight Farm: A Farm Prepares for Winter, is the co-owner and proprietor of a small farm in Vermont, and her love for and knowledge about farm life shines through in her gentle, heartwarming text. The accompanying artwork from Stadtlander - it is described on the colophon as having been created using 'paint,' which seems a very vague description to include, if one is going to include such a note at all - is absolutely lovely, capturing the beauty of the farm in question, and the loving routine of the farm family being depicted. I definitely plan to track down more of her work, and will look out for future publications from Doyle as well. Recommended to picture-book readers looking for stories featuring farms, or about the coming of winter.
