Storytime & Signing: "The Baby Who Stayed Awake Forever" by Sandra Salsbury

Every family who ever spent a sleepless night with a newborn baby will feel seen in this hilarious new book about the uncanny ability of babies to stay awake FOREVER—from a mom who’s been there.
They tried lullabies, they tried cuddles, they tried soothing words. But now it’s 3 a.m. and the baby has achieved a new level of consciousness. Throwing binkies, climbing the crib . . . Is this baby going to stay awake forever?!? (Even the neighbor would like to know.)
Parents and siblings of new babies will share some BIG laughs together as they follow a VERY tired family trying to get just a few minutes of rest while their precious one jumps, pounds, yells, and even throws a 1 a.m. dance party.
It’s the perfect baby shower gift for parents and soon-to-be-big-siblings to say “Congratulations!” and also “I feel your pain.”
