Description
Two brothers share a room. One is asleep, but the other is wide awake. He has a burning question: why do we sleep in beds?
Little brother Magnus can’t fall asleep. His bed is too big, too cold, too lumpy! He also has a very important question to ask his big brother Kasper: why do we sleep in beds? As the two brothers explore all the places they could sleep, and they gradually get more fantastical, we get to go on a bedtime adventure like no other.

About the Author
Born in the Philippines, Emma Farrarons grew up in Paris, France. She studied art at Edinburgh College and Paris’s Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs. A childrens’ book designer for many years, she also created colouring books including the international best-seller The Mindfulness Colouring Book. During the Pandemic Emma decided to take the plunge and dedicate herself to becoming a children’s author and illustrator. In 2025 she won the coveted Klaus Flugge Prize for the first picture book she had ever illustrated, called My Hair is as Long as a River. Emma also writes and illustrates the Wands Away first reader series. I Can’t Sleep is her first picture book as both author and illustrator.
