SLEEP (2013)
Text by Charles Anthony Silvestri
Illustrations by Anne Horjus
A young boy is wide awake at bedtime. He struggles against sleep, as he hears noises in the night and his imagination races. He finally drifts off, amid soaring visions of flying through a spectacular sky. Built subtly into the illustrations is the deeper theme of loss. The boy has lost his mother; and yet her presence (in the form of a feather on every page) helps comfort him to sleep.
Inspired by "Sleep" by composer Eric Whitacre and lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri
Available through Amazon, and exclusively distributed by Hal Leonard
