Thank you, Readertotz, for highlighting this gorgeous video of one of my favorite singers, Andrea Bocelli, singing Sesame Street’s Elmo to sleep with a variation on one of his most well-known songs – very sweet and funny at the same time!

It also made me think of all those picture books where the baby just won’t go to sleep – like Hush! A Thai Lullaby by Minfong Ho, illustrated by Holly Meade (Orchard Books, 2000).
