Twenty Yawns

Lucy goes to the beach with her parents one breezy day. After lots of digging and rolling down dunes, the day has flown by, and it's time to go home and go to bed. Lucy yawns and as her mom reads a story, she closes her eyes. But then all of a sudden, she wakes up and is all alone and a little bit scared. She has to figure out a way to get back to sleep. With a story that travels from the boisterous beach to the still of a moonlit room, this debut picture book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jane Smiley and imaginative illustrator Lauren Castillo is guaranteed to have kids yawning their way to bed.
