Off to Sleep

I just put Peja to sleep with 30 pages of Danny the Champion of the World, which was the very first book I ever read cover-to-cover in one sitting. I'm not sure how much she's getting, her 4th birthday is still a couple of months away, but every night she chooses it over the stacks of Dora and Franklin, so I'm hopeful that her mind's eye contains the same dark woods I conjured twenty years ago.
