Overview
Little animals are in a hurry to get home before the sun goes down. Come and learn about the different types of families in this poetic book before it comes... bedtime! At the end of the day, the sun goes down. Happily setting behind hills of the town. But where are all the animals rushing off to? Join Giraffe, Elephant, Parrot and others to see where everyone is going in such a hurry! A board book written by Alicia Acosta, author and psychologist, and beautifully illustrated by Mar Ferrero, shows families in all their wonderful variations, as they return home at the end of the day to go to sleep.

Reflecting some of the variety in the world makes this a title worthy of recommendation for all libraries – School Library Journal. 35 Board Books To Charm the Very Young Into ‘Reading’ Not ‘Screening’ |Board Book Roundup - School Library Journal. Along with the lovely soft colors of dusk, the brief rhyming text describes the family and their destination, and it’s like a lullaby. The text is equally lilting in Spanish and in English. The Spanish version has a QR code to take readers to a recording of the author singing the book as a song – Youth Services Book Review. Wondering where the animals are trying to go pulls the reader through to the end when we find out the place they all long to be is home. – Kids Read the World Blog.
