Back to Sleep: from the bestselling author of No One Likes a Fart

Description

A warm and funny bedtime story where it's the parents who won't go to sleep. The perfect follow-up picture book to No One Likes a Fart by the inimitable Zoe Foster Blake. Poor Finn is looking forward to drifting off to sleep in his cosy warm bed, when Mummy appears wanting a drink. Finn resettles her and has just fallen asleep, when he's woken again . . . this time by Daddy, who's had a bad dream. And so it goes. Just when Finn has one parent back to sleep, the other wakes up! When will these two sleep through the night? A clever, playful, laugh-out-loud story that celebrates the ups and downs of family life. Kids and parents will enjoy sharing this gorgeous bedtime story. Back to Sleep is a reflection of Zoe Foster Blake's much-loved brand and profile, told with an authenticity and humour born of experience. 'Foster Blake has a talent for finding the unexpected in the unexceptional (bath time, bedtime, burps and farts).' Sydney Morning Herald 'A hilarious twist on bedtime shenanigans that kids will love.' Weekend Notes 'A little rollicking tale to make kids and parents giggle their way to bedtime.' Mums Grapevine

Zoe Foster Blake (Author) Zoe Foster Blake writes fiction, non-fiction and children's picture books because she enjoys hijacking shelf space across multiple genres in bookshops.

Zoe's first picture book, No One Likes a Fart, was released in 2017 and was the fastest-selling Australian picture book since Bookscan records began. (People DO like farts!) It's a sales record-breaker and a bookseller favourite with over 120,000 copies sold. It won the ABIA for Picture Book of the Year in 2018, and has also been published in North America, Italy and Japan. Her other much-loved picture books include the sequel, Fart and Burp are Superstinkers, as well as Scaredy Bath and Back to Sleep. Zoe lives in Springfield with her husband, Homer, and her three children, Maggie, Lisa and Bart. Mike Jacobsen (Illustrator) Mike Jacobsen had his first exhibition at the age of three, when he drew a powerfully expressive portrait on the wall above his parents' bed. His parents remarked that it left an indelible impression upon them. And the wall. He's been drawing ever since, for clients such as Disney, Apple, The Guardian, 20th Century Fox and Lonely Planet, always adding a dash of humour whenever he can.
