About This Book
Reach for this book when the holiday jitters have officially set in and your child is too excited to stay under the covers. It is the perfect tool for those final nights of December when the anticipation of Santa's arrival makes bedtime feel like an impossible task. The story follows a young boy counting down the final five days until Christmas, capturing the specific, twitchy energy of a kid who just cannot wait. While the plot is simple, it serves a vital emotional purpose: it validates the intense feelings of longing and excitement that children experience during the holidays. By focusing on the passage of time and the ritual of 'sleeps,' it helps children visualize the wait, making the concept of patience more concrete. It is a lighthearted, secular celebration of childhood wonder that helps bridge the gap between high-energy daytime festivities and the need for a calm, shared evening routine.
