When parents have tried everything,

and the children still haven't settled,

then only one can help... the Sun, who knows how sleep will begin.

It wakes the planets with a sweet smile, to grant the children deep and gentle sleep.

A little speed from Mercury, the power of Jupiter, some stardust from Mars,

the bright rings of Saturn, the light of Venus, cool winds from Uranus

and Neptune, and the sweetest dreams sent by the little Moon.

Each planet does its own magic and all the children fall asleep instantly.

A tender book that soothes children pleasantly while also teaching them about the planets and our solar system.
