An incredibly poetic and moving picture book about waiting for the goodnight kiss.

"I wish Mummy was here with me to give me my goodnight kiss…" All children eagerly wait for their goodnight kiss – a moment that's both full of wonder and a little heartbreaking because once the kiss comes, the day is over. Inspired by Proust’s In Search of Lost Time in which he expresses his attachment to his mother as he awaits her kiss before going to sleep, Clementine Beauvais turns a common bedtime ritual into an unforgettable poignant experience.
