Good Night, Little Bookshop

By Amy Cherrix

Illustrated by E. B. Goodale

Part lullaby, part love song, this perfectly pitched bedtime book champions the vibrant independent spirit of local bookshops.

Join the Little Bookshop’s friendly staff as they draw the curtain on another busy day of browsing. Choose a bedtime story, say your good nights and pet the shop’s friendly cat on your way out. Drawing on the best tradition of classic bedtime books, Amy Cherrix’s lilting text brims with sound play, soothing patterns and repetition, while E. B. Goodale’s bright, inclusive artwork offers people-watching at its best, conjuring the bustling, ineffable mood of a homespun hall of treasures. Penned by a bookseller and illustrated with warmth and zeal, this cosy homage to the neighbourhood bookshop ends with a gallery of bookstores around the world, encouraging local engagement and offering a gentle reminder that books are gifts that keep giving, the most comforting treasure of all.
