Goodnight, Starry Night

Joseph Coelho

Snuggle up and ease your child off to sleep reading Joseph Coelho's lullaby-like poems. Lyrical, calming and beautifully illustrated, these peaceful poems are a magical way to end the day.

Written by award-winning performance poet Joseph Coelho, Goodnight, Starry Night is a collection of 14 poems that takes readers on a gentle journey into dreamland. Each poem is inspired by a calming work of art, reproduced in the book alongside the heart-warming illustrations of Allison Colpoys.

The book takes its title from Van Gogh's painting The Starry Night, which inspired Coelho's evocative poem River Sky:

I gaze upon the starry night It twists into a river-sky my every breath, a swirling light I gaze upon the starry night.

It features poems inspired by David Hockney's Sleeping Dogs, Vivian Maier's Woman with Baby and Faith Ringgold's quilted artwork of Cassie Lightfoot flying against a night sky.

Joseph Coelho's lyrical poems calm the mind, relax the body and are soothing to the soul, and are guaranteed to inspire the sweetest of dreams.
