I Don't Want to Sleep: and I Can't Be Awake

Does your child have a million reasons to stay up past bedtime?

Luke is almost six and the day is never long enough. There are too many things to discover, too many unanswered questions, and too many ideas buzzing around in his head. But his body has other plans.

His eyes close on their own, like they have automatic blinds. Sleep settles on his shoulders and won't budge. And no matter how hard he tries to run in circles, read a book, or hold his eyelids open with his fingers, there's no winning against the yawns.

When he finally lets go, he discovers something incredible: in his dreams he can be an astronaut, an architect, a scientist, an explorer, and an inventor. He can fly without wings, build impossible cities, and create a telescope that sees the past.

A warm, funny, beautifully illustrated bedtime story that shows kids the magic waiting for them when they close their eyes, and reminds parents that the bedtime struggle is often a sign of a curious, wonderful mind.

Perfect for bedtime reading with children ages 3 to 7.
