This charming and gorgeously illustrated book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lev Grossman takes readers on a whimsical journey to find the person we need most at bedtime—the elusive god of sleep.

It’s just about time to retire for the night.
But somewhere—something is not quite right!

In this rhyming bedtime book, the god of sun is winding down and preparing for nightfall. But her successor, the god of sleep, is missing! To bring a sound slumber to the world, the sun god journeys to find that elusive, restful god, and meets all sorts of clever characters along the way. Magical and soothing, The God of Sleep is the perfect read-aloud for putting little ones to bed.
