“Inside, families get ready for bed, but outside, the city is bustling. . . . Sirens blare, cars honk, and crowds chatter and laugh. The clamor isn’t going to quiet anytime soon. But each sound melts into a familiar rhythm, lulling city-dwellers as they close their eyes. Rigaud and Duchess pop in and out of many cities—Baltimore, Brooklyn, Chicago, and more—as they peer into various bedroom scenes. . . . Regardless of the nighttime routines, one thing remains constant: All these children feel safe and loved. . . . Onomatopoetic sounds abound. . . . Dim lights, comfy blankets, and warm squeezes of stuffed animals contrast with the buzz of outdoor conversations, joyous street corner singing, and barking pups on their nighttime walk. . . . The urban landscape and indoor coziness end up melding together. . . . A sweet melody of urban life.” —Kirkus Reviews
