Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go to Sleep

Willa can't sleep. She is afraid she might have bad dreams. Her brother, Willoughby, suggests she should think of something happy. He tells her about all the things that are just longing for the happy moment when Willa wakes up in the morning.

There are her chicken slippers and her jumpsuit waiting to be worn and her toys dreaming of the games they will play. The only sad thing is the morning. It's waiting for Willa to go to sleep, as it likes waking her up. At this, Willa goes to bed, snuggles up and goes to sleep.

This is a board book version of Joyce Dunbar's gentle and reassuring story, complemented by enchanting illustrations by Debi Gliori.
