For the narrator of this soothing and unusual bedtime story, the excitement of a ride on a sleeper train chases sleep away. She and her parents, who appear to be Punjabi and Sikh, board as the sun is setting and soon commence their bedtime routine. Unable to settle, the girl takes up a post at the window. “I thought it might help if I tried to think of all the different places I have slept.” At home, if she has a bad dream, she crawls stealthily into her parents’ bed. She remembers the view of the sea from her hotel room on vacation last summer, and the warm comfort of dozing on the beach. She recalls various other nights, too—in a tent on a camping trip, in the hospital after an operation, in her mom’s old room at her grandparents’ house—and as the train snakes through towns and villages, she grows sleepy imagining all the people snug in their beds nearby. Before she knows it, it’s morning, and breakfast time, and they’re in a new South Asian city. In a full-circle moment, the sleeper train itself becomes a new sleep aid: “Now if I ever can’t get to sleep… I remember how it felt to be rocked by the train, just like a baby…” Featuring an appealing palette heavy in oranges and teals, the digitally colored pencil illustrations are packed with patterns and details but never feel too busy.
