The Sleepless Book

A Children’s Book about Restlessness

When you can’t go to sleep at night, the strangest thoughts often appear. The pictures and concepts swing between fears and wishes, between fact and fantasy. Moni Port draws us in with her unique narration and collage techniques, into the midst of a journey through the nighttime hours.

A conceptual and visual flood that begins with a whale and circumnavigates the world until reaching its conclusion with a glass of water, until a restful sleep is reached.

  • A nocturnal trip through the rush of thoughts
  • As stimulating as the successful book The Little Book of Courage
  • For contemplation, discussion and repeat readings
Genre: Children's Books / YA, Picture-Book
