As the day comes to an end, bedtime draws near. But the little boy in this book is quite sure it is not time for sleeping. As each piece of his evening routine is completed, the question becomes: When will it be time for sleeping?
Illustrated by Caldecott Honor winner Lauren Castillo.

Publishers Weekly | STARRED review
★ “Castillo conjures security with her trademark warm colors and solid black contours . . . Graff rebalances the traditional bedtime dynamic ever so slightly, portraying parents who never need to resort to authority, instead letting the reliable routines of day’s end work their magic.”
The Horn Book
“The way the parents continue to carry out the nighttime rituals all the way through to a final hug and a ‘we love you’ is respectful of the child’s independence, while encouraging kids at home to settle in and allow themselves to fall asleep, too.”
School Library Journal
“An excellent candidate for bedtime sharing.”
Kirkus Reviews
“A very good goodnight book.”
