Sleepy child in sleepy bed Dream sweet dreams My sleepyhead

A

s stars begin to fill the sky, one little girl and her puppy each give a big yawn. Someone’s sleepy, and it’s time to get ready for bed. With her mother close by, the little girl begins her nighttime routine, taking a bath, slipping into pj’s, brushing her teeth, and having a storybook read aloud. Finally tucked under the covers with her favorite stuffed animals, the child is lulled to sleep, watched over by her nightlight and puppy friend. This tender rhyming picture book—with sweet text from Deborah Lee Rose complemented by warm illustrations from Dan Andreasen— follows a mother and child through their loving nightly ritual.

He has also written and illustrated seven others with a style that has been described by Kirkus as “cunning” and “clever.” He is the illustrator of Abrams’ Otis & Sydney and the Best Birthday Ever, which the Bank Street School named one of its 2011 Best Children’s Books of the Year, and the author of The Giant of Seville, which School Library Journal called in a starred review “a standout package.” He lives with his family in Medina, Ohio.
