Mama I Can t Sleep Written by Brigitte Raab Illustrated by Manuela Olten Translated by Connie Stradling Morby Sky Pony Press New York
Mama I can t sleep I just can’t I close my eyes very tight for a long time But then they open again and I’m still awake Try again Your bed is so comfortable Snuggle up in your blanket with your little leopard and close your eyes All creatures sleep Even the real leopards in Africa
And they don’t have a bed to sleep in They just lie on a branch in a tree close their eyes and sleep Without a blanket without a pillow and without falling down
