Who needs to sleep at night anyway?

There’s so much I’d miss!

I’ll just be nocturnal too.

What do you think?



I think we need to get you back to sleep.



Readers will laugh themselves silly as they learn to find their inner calm so they can sleep -- even when they wake in the night -- and also discover the difference between nocturnal and diurnal animals.

With his signature sidesplitting humor, sensitivity, and heart, author, artist and cartoonist, Ross Burach addresses common social-emotional themes in the lives of young children: patience, persistence, self-confidence and mindfulness. He also weaves curriculum-friendly science topics, from metamorphosis to migration and beyond, into his stories, making them STEM and LEAF* friendly. (*LEAF = Laughter, Emotions, A little science, Friendship).
