The God of Sleep

This charming and gorgeously illustrated book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lev Grossman is the perfect read-aloud for putting little ones to bed.

It’s just about time to retire for the night.
But somewhere—something—is not quite right!

In this rhyming bedtime book, the god of sun is winding down and preparing for nightfall. But her successor, the god of sleep, is missing! To bring a sound slumber to the world, the sun god journeys to find that elusive, restful god, and meets all sorts of clever characters along the way.
