About the Author
Carole Lexa Schaefer says DOWN IN THE WOODS AT SLEEPYTIME was inspired "by all my friends at Little Friends Preschool who like to play just a little bit longereven at sleepytime."
Vanessa Cabban says, "I wanted to suggest that bedtime can be the best time of dayby creating pictures that make children feel safe and warm, helping them drift from the excitement of play to the coziness of their beds."
