Ball, Julian Allen, and Joseph Larussa. Sweet Dreams is meant to be read by an adult or the child himself or herself, when old enough, as a comforting balm to ease the transition into the often difficult and frightening world of sleep. With its classical rhymes, rhythms, and structure Sweet Dreams is a soothing, old-fashioned escape from the world of technology and noise and social media that surrounds us. It is a work of art and verse that a child can savor for years, and an adult can appreciate endlessly. It is a book to hold and return to again and again. Day after day. Night after night.
