There’s a new book from best-selling author Jamie Lee Curtis and illustrator Laura Cornell, and your kid will definitely relate to the story!
In Just One More Sleep: All Good Things Come to Those Who Wait … and Wait… and Wait, a child must wait as the family prepares for a special, upcoming event. Kids often measure time through how many sleeps or goodnight kisses they have until the day of a celebration, and the new story from the author and illustrator duo that created Today I Feel Silly follows that well-known excitement for a new day.
The book discusses the benefits of waiting and delayed gratification while celebrating achievements and how long it takes to get to a milestone. The character mentions having “just one more sleep” until celebrations like her birthday, Valentine’s Day, Chinese New Year, Passover, Easter, Mother’s Day, Kwanzaa, the first day of school, and more. It also highlights patience and understanding, in a way that’s easy for your little one to digest, as she waits for events like camp.
Just One More Sleep is published by Penguin Random House, a major publisher that might be responsible for a handful of books on your kids shelf. You can incorporate the book into your bedtime routine starting on Jan. 16!
