One by one, lion cubs emerge from trees, past bouncing monkeys and braying zebras. They cross a stream, watch a herd of thundering wildebeest, and explore the darkening beauty of the landscape. As the moon rises, ten little lion cubs curl up together just in time for bedtime, under their mothers' watch in a space that is cozy and warm. Kate Banks's gorgeously melodic text, paired with Lauren Tobia's charming illustrations, create a lullaby to ensure the sweetest of dreams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Banks\u003c\/b\u003e (1960-2024) was the award-winning author of more than forty books for children and young adults, including \u003ci\u003eLion Lullaby\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Lauren Tobia, \u003ci\u003eNoah Builds an Ark\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by John Rocco, and the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner \u003ci\u003eAnd If the Moon Could Talk\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Georg Hallensleben. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLauren Tobia\u003c\/b\u003e is the author-illustrator of \u003ci\u003eOscar's Tower of Flowers\u003c\/i\u003e as well as the illustrator of several books for children, including the Anna Hibiscus books by Atinuke, \u003ci\u003eBaby's Got the Blues\u003c\/i\u003e by Carol Diggory Shields, \u003ci\u003eHappy in Our Skin \u003c\/i\u003eby Fran Manushkin, and \u003ci\u003eAre You Sure, Mother Bear? \u003c\/i\u003eby Amy Hest.
