Midori Is Happy And Sad

written by Leila Hanaumi

Midori is wide awake—and bedtime is the last thing on her mind! Can Mama’s patience (and a few clever tricks) help Midori finally drift off to sleep?

It’s bedtime, but Midori has other plans. She needs one more sip of water, one more story, one more hug—anything to stay awake a little longer. Mama gently guides her through the nighttime routine, even when Midori insists she’s not tired at all. But soon, cozy blankets, twinkling stars, and Mama’s love help her settle down. A warm and playful bedtime story that celebrates the push-and-pull of childhood independence and the comfort of winding down together.
