"A quiet celebration of reading and family that's equal parts charming and gently spooky."―Kirkus Reviews

No One Slept is a celebration of storytelling and a bedtime story for everyone--even restless ghosts.

No One Slept is a captivating children's book that doubles as a bedtime story for ghosts. Set in a hauntingly picturesque home, the story revolves around Little Kooky, a fearless little girl who helps her family and even the neighbor's dog fall asleep by sharing enchanting tales from her books. Without her, no one in the house would sleep.

This intriguing book evokes memories of sleepless nights and childhood fears, showcasing the power of stories to soothe even the most frightened residents in a haunted house. No One Slept is a story about insomnia, sleep, noise, silence, fear, death, life, family, home, and the supernatural, all through the lens of Little Kooky's reading adventures.
