Come and enter the Turnips‘ cave, where the Turnip family tries to kip, doze off, slide into beddybies every night. 
But before they can sleep, there are a hundred little things to be taken care of – and all of which are not supposed to be mixed up! So it’s kind of a crazy adventure before everyone can finally be off to la-la land.
Finn-Ole Heinrich and Dita Zipfel (both winners of the German Children‘s Literature Award in 2014 respectively 2020) wrote a funny lullaby-poem, that is at first all mixed up and needs some good shaking to finally calm down.
by Finn-Ole Heinrich & Dita Zipfel with amazing illustrations by Tine Schulz

“… a masterpiece, an endearing little spectacle.” – Sarah Jørgensen, Mojoreads
