Description

Someone just woke up. Quietly she moves around the house. Everyone else is still asleep. . .

A perfect good morning for early risers who might enjoy a gentle picture book to cuddle around—or a sweet bedtime "shhhh."

"A girl notes that the rest of the household is still asleep, from her stuffed animals and family pets to a baby sister in a crib and her parents. Reaching for her toy horn, she blasts them all awake—and is she punished? No, the final scene shows the loving family gathered together. How rewarding to watch an artist stretch, and achieve another perfect fit." —Publishers Weekly
