A 1984 Caldecott Honor Bedtime Countdown Board Book by Molly Bang
Author-illustrator Molly Bang presents a gentle bedtime countdown between an African American father and his young daughter. Counting down from ten to one, each spread focuses on familiar bedroom objects and quiet evening routines: ten small toes ready for bed, nine soft friends on the blanket, eight square windowpanes looking at the night sky, down to one warm hug before sleep.
Why You’ll Love This Book
Molly Bang's 1984 Caldecott Honor picture book combines rich paint illustrations with a calming reverse counting sequence. A soothing board book staple for infant and toddler bedtime routines.

Pair this book with Magical Butterfly Pea Flower Tea
Watch little eyes light up as the magic unfolds! The special butterfly pea flowers brew into a captivating blue infusion. Then, add a squeeze of lemon or lime and gasp as it magically transforms into vibrant pinks and purples right before your eyes! Beneath the color-changing fun lies a delightful harmony of sweet berries (like strawberries and raspberries), fragrant florals, and gentle citrus notes from lemongrass and lemon peel. It’s a feast for the senses and a wonderfully fun way to make any gathering feel extra special.
