About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is anticipating their first sleepover or feeling a mix of jitters and excitement about staying overnight at a friend's house. It is the perfect tool for demystifying the 'unknown' of a pajama party while channeling that high energy into a positive narrative. The story follows a group of friends as they navigate the classic rituals of a sleepover, from the initial arrival to the inevitable struggle to actually fall asleep. Through simple text and vibrant illustrations, Joan Holub explores themes of social bonding and group dynamics. Parents will appreciate how it validates the 'big kid' feeling of staying up late while maintaining a gentle, safe atmosphere. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students (ages 4 to 6) who are learning to navigate social environments outside of their immediate family unit.
