A gently reassuring picture book about the milestone of a first
sleepover, for fans of The Invisible String by Patrice Karst and
Wemberly Worries by Kevin Henkes.
Every night at home, Darcy brushes her teeth with strawberry toothpaste;
she snuggles in bed with Little Cat; and she falls asleep to the sound
of her dad washing the dishes. But tonight, Darcy is having her very
first sleepover! Even though it's at her cousin Kayla's house, it still
feels a little daunting. Kayla has peppermint toothpaste, a baby bear
named Charlotte, and howling winds outside her window. Darcy misses her
dad and her own cozy bedroom. Should she ask her aunt to take her home?
This rewarding tale celebrates the excitement of new experiences and the
power of quiet growth. Backmatter also included shedding light on steps
parents can take when helping kids prepare for their first sleepover!
