Now in a board book format for the youngest readers, Looking for Sleep explores a topic familiar to many families—a child unable to fall asleep—and features adorable illustrations and accessible, humorous text.

Having a child who is unable to sleep is a familiar scenario for many families—and in the new board book edition of Looking for Sleep, it’s a young wolf who is experiencing that problem! Wolf can’t fall asleep, so he embarks on a journey with his friends to find sleep, because surely, it can’t be far. The group looks for sleep in dens, burrows, and everything in between, with no luck. Could Owl know just what to do? Delightful illustrations, set in a moonlit forest, make this book the perfect bedtime read.
 
PreS-Gr 1–In scenes that are the deep blues and purple of nighttime, “It was bedtime in the forest, but Wolf was wide awake. He just couldn’t sleep!” Most readers, even preschoolers, will relate. Amid the beautiful scenery the illustrator has created, awash in moonlight to alleviate the dark, what is Wolf to do? He searches for sleep, shouts for it, and others join him. This is a darling tale of how tricky looking for sleep is, and it takes an owl to set them all straight. The digital art is toylike; every scene looks like a theatrical stage. VERDICT A bedtime book that gets very loud before it gets quiet, but children will love to see the animals finally find sleep. --School Library Journal
Georgiana Deutsch lives in a tiny apartment in London with her husband, a piano, a toddler, and piles of beautiful books. When not writing, she can usually be found baking brownies and dreaming of owning a Labrador named Watson.

Megan Tadden studied and trained as an illustrator at Arts University Bournemouth. She graduated with a First Class Honors degree, and is now excitedly exploring the wonderful world of children's book illustration. Megan is currently based in Buckinghamshire and has a love of the sea, the color blue, and all things magical!
