Description
Book Format: Children's Board Book
All aboard this alliterative alphabetical adventure before bedtime.
This dream-like "Good Night" journey takes the reader on a tour to meet Lake Tahoe’s native and common baby animals while they are enjoying recreational activities in some of the most remarkable places that make the lake region so magical.
Beddy-bye bear is boating; the coyote is camping in Carson City; the raccoon is rafting in Reno; the trout is tubing in Truckee; and many more surprises.
It is a book that reminds us of the incomparable beauty of Lake Tahoe. The places we have been, and want to visit. The animals that we have seen, and hope to see. And, the winter and summer activities that we have done, and dream of doing.
A Note From the Publisher
Illustrated by Michael Furuya
Advance Praise
“Kevin Sullivan, author, and Michael Furuya, illustrator, couple alliterations and illustrations to take the reader through a dream-like journey. Join Lake Tahoe’s native animals such as Beddy-bye bear for a little boating or the coyote camping in Carson City as you get ready to drift away to sleep.”
—Ashleigh Goodwin, Tahoe Daily Tribune, July 11, 2022
“Good Night Tahoe is a children’s book that takes the reader through a magical land that really exists, Tahoe. ‘It sort of evolved, life is a journey,’ said Sullivan, a part-time resident of Incline Village. ‘I started writing and publishing because I felt there was a need for a certain type of product. Something that’s fun and entertaining but makes you aware of the beauty around you.’ Sullivan is both a writer and an educator has published several books based on Hawaii’s beauty. The goal of Good Night Tahoe is to raise awareness for protecting the environment, particularly the Lake Tahoe Basin and its flora and fauna. Sullivan hopes to kickstart families reading together while providing education on sustaining the land we enjoy now, for generations to come.”
