magic in the morning

A little boy is too excited to go to sleep, his Dad is coming home from a trip and he wants to stay up to greet him. Mom says OK, but suggests some ways to be "more comfortable" while he's waiting. Dad is coming home when the sun first hits the sky and makes a pretty pink light. This was one of my favorite books as a child. The pictures are so soft and sweet. Whenever we would leave for a vacation, my parents would say we would leave at the first pink light in the sky. This is a gentle, touching story about a loving family. If you have a child too excited to go to sleep, this should be the bedtime story to choose.
