From Pura Belpré Honor winner Jenny Torres Sanchez comes a gently humorous bedtime story about giving anxiety a rest!

It’s bedtime. Try as she might, a young girl is unable to fall asleep. Her mind can’t stop racing, thinking about big things! That’s when her dad reminds her: Think smaller. So, she thinks about her favorite breakfast food—waffles! And starts counting. Soon, she’s on a cosmic adventure. But what to do when her imagination starts carrying her away?

This playful picture book by award-winning author Jenny Torres Sanchez and vibrantly illustrated by Tammy Do reassures little ones—and adults—that there are fun, grounding (and tasty!) ways to calm oneself when anxiety intrudes at night.
