Hush, Little Trucker
Soothe truck-loving toddlers off to sleep with this vehicle-themed bedtime picture book
Hush, little trucker, you’re in luck.
Mama’s gonna find your lost toy truck.
A new spin on the classic song “Hush, Little Baby,” this truck-themed lullaby follows a mother and child as they discover different vehicles, from a bulldozer to a front-end loader. Kim Norman’s gentle rhyming text, paired with Toshiki Nakamura’s imaginative illustrations, makes this picture book a great option for bedtime read-alouds.
Kim Norman, the author of more than twenty children’s books, is still a little jealous of her sister Tanya, who once won a new truck in a national contest. Calling herself a Bedtime Reading Booster, Norman has visited hundreds of schools around the United States. She loves art, music, and life with her husband and two pug-mix dogs in a little house in Virginia shaded by big pecan trees. Visit her at kimnormanbooks.com.
