Newly Released
Sam cannot go to sleep because he is worried. He worries about the bully at school, he worries about the big dog down the street, and most of all, he worries that everyone in his family will fall asleep before he does. Sam is afraid that he will be alone and awake in the middle of the night. Sam’s mother gently comforts him as she provides a tool that Sam can use to fall asleep easily.
Rise and Shine, Caroline
Unlike Sam, Caroline has no trouble falling asleep – in fact, she’s a lazy-bones who wants to sleep all day. Rise and Shine, Caroline is a story in verse that encourages her to arise and experience the beauty of nature all around her.

Crazy Grandma
What is Grandma doing? She’s acting so crazy! Dressed in polka dot tights, a striped dress, neon green tennis shoes and a big bow in her hair, Grandma is causing commotion wherever she goes. But Lucy loves her Grandma anyway.
