Why Do I Need to Sleep?

Children read about the importance of sleep and how to prepare for it. This story integrates science and health facts with a charming story about Lily who has not been getting enough sleep.

Children learn that:

• Sleep helps you grow.
• Sleep helps you think, listen, and work.
• Sleep helps you get along with others and feel good.
• Nightmares are bad dreams that your brain makes up. They will go away when you tell someone.
• Going to sleep is easy when you know how.

The illustrated soft-cover book features children from multiethnic backgrounds.
