"Nadia Salomon’s Goodnight Ganesha reminds readers that saying
goodnight is both universal and unique and that all children
deserve bedtime books that reflect their experiences and culture."
--Hallee Adelman, author of My Quiet Ship
"A pair of parallel poems, both steeped in references to India and
Hinduism, form this stunningly illustrated tribute to family
rituals [with] gorgeous, classically stylized art. Contemporary
Hindu families will love the culturally specific details, while
cultural outsiders will appreciate the universality of a
bedtime routine." —Booklist
"Two children prepare for bed at their grandparents’ home in India,
content in the love surrounding them and reflecting Hindu
influences Luminous illustrations with awe-inspiring patterns
convey the relatable comfort of bedtime rituals, told in a poetic
style similar to Margaret Wise Brown’s Goodnight, Moon." —School
Library Journal
"Who says rhyming picture books can’t also be gorgeous? The rhyme
schemes themselves are interesting too. Probably the prettiest
bedtime book you’ll encounter." —Betsy Bird's Fuse 8, SLJ Blog
