Description:
This tender scene captures a young girl gently waking a boy peacefully sleeping in a hammock, evoking childhood moments filled with innocence, curiosity, and the bittersweet reluctance to end playtime or storytime.
Accompanying the painting is the heartfelt excerpt from Eleanor Farjeon’s Bedtime Poem, which beautifully echoes the universal plea to stay “just five minutes more” — a timeless sentiment for children everywhere.
“Five minutes, five minutes more, please!
Let me stay five minutes more!
Can’t I just finish the castle
I’m building here on the floor?
...
Can’t I stay one minute more?”
