Celebrate the sounds of nighttime in the city as you drift into dreamland.
Beep beep to sleep!


Busy streets at volumes high.
Their sounds are their lullaby

Playtime is over for the day. In the warm glow of a night-light, a child snuggles into their cozy bed. And that must mean the world outside is also slowing down, going still and quiet, ready for sleep . . . right?

Wrong! Not in the city—because cities rarely sleep. They’re always rumbling, wailing, and lighting up with activity. From Chicago to Brooklyn, from Baltimore to Seattle, cities everywhere are alive with the sounds of horns, sirens, trains, and people.

This symphony of familiar city sounds, perfect for reading aloud, is both a marvelous tribute to urban life and a great way to wind down before drifting off for the night, beep beep to sleep.
Debbie Rigaud (DebbieRigaud.com) also wrote the picture book The Littlest Food Critic and the young adult novels Simone Breaks All the Rules and A Girl’s Guide to Love & Magic. Co-author of the New York Times bestselling Hope series (written with Alyssa Milano) and The Sister Switch (with Sarah Mlynowski), her most recent work is the middle grade novel Mermaid Season. She lives with her husband and children in Columbus, Ohio.

Olivia Duchess (OliviaDuchess.com) has illustrated numerous picture books, including Becoming a Ballerina:The Story of Michaela Mabinty DePrince (by Laura Obuobi), Hello There, Sunshine (by Tabitha Brown), Tiana’s Perfect Plan (by Anika Noni Rose), The Light She Feels Inside (by Gwendolyn Wallace), Lovely Day (based on the lyrics by Bill Withers), Daddy-Daughter Day (by Pierce Freelon), and A Neighborhood Walk, a Musical Journey (by Pilar Winter Hill). She lives in London.
