ABOUT THIS BOOK

Entertaining and heartfelt, this bedtime story engulfs you right into Violet's sleepless world where she uses her vivid imagination (and just a little bit of patience) to create a plan so she can catch the ZZZ’s all on her own. This book is full of vibrant illustrations with fun details and best of all, it is a cozy story that will inspire sweet dreams!  

What are the ZZZ’s and just how do you catch them?

The ZZZ’s gives us the answer as it imagines how a child might interpret the idea quite literally.
