Night blooming Jasmine is a lush and dreamlike story of a little girl who ventures out of bed and explores the nighttime world around her.

This is a lovely whimsical rhyming story which is fun to read aloud. I did find the changing structure of the rhymes tripped me up occasionally as I read, but overall the descriptive and lyrical language was very engaging. The illustrations were stunning, and I loved the blue hues, the movement and texture, which really evoked a sense of peace and nighttime magic.

This is a beautiful book for children to enjoy with their grownups. I particularly enjoyed the back pages identifying nocturnal animals, so children could enjoy their own night-scape experience.

Thank you Star Bright Books and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.

This book was really poetic and beautifully done! A perfect before bed book. My son loved it and it’s one I can definitely see buying for him.

Oh, my heart! This is achingly beautiful. The illustrations are unbelievably well done, utterly gorgeous. The words are melodic and rhythmic, and the story truly came to life. I will certainly be purchasing this one for my kids!
