 This soothing bedtime story is about a little girl who is spending the night on a sleeper train with her Sikh family. However, she is so excited that she cannot sleep. As the train weaves through various Indian landscapes, she shares memories of places where she has slept, from a camping trip on the beach to her grandparents’ house. Jackson’s prose is lyrical and gentle. The richly detailed pencil and digital illustrations, vibrant and enchanting, complement the text perfectly and are based on the Punjabi and Sikh diaspora experiences. They include traditional Indian attire, hair practices, and visual motifs. |
