Grandma helps insomniac Angel Bunny cook a magical imaginary “Sleep Muffin” to help her fall asleep. 

No matter how hard she tries, Angel Bunny just can’t sleep! Counting sheep, sipping hot milk, a jigsaw with Pop—nothing helps, and her brothers and sisters are growing tired of it. So, Grandma comes up with a magical idea at bedtime—creating a “sleep muffin”. With a mixture of flavors and ingredients, Angel Bunny’s imagination whips into action and leaves her needing a well-deserved rest. A comforting, humorous bedtime story that features charming, playful illustrations that will have children dreaming of their own delicious sleep-inducing treats!

Gleni Bailey began to write children’s stories due to her love of nature and desire to teach from learned experiences. Based at her home farm in Western Australia, Gleni’s motivation comes from the myriad of characters surrounding her. While the antics of chickens, cats, sheep, other farm animals, and wildlife amuses her, they also inspire, providing the context for her to subtly impart many life lessons while also entertaining readers.

Jasmine O’Donoghue is an illustrator from the UK who, from a young age, has always found joy in being creative. Her first success was winning a competition at preschool to have her stick figure painting printed on a mug. After having her first child, her passion for illustration was reignited. Inspired by her two children, she enjoys illustrating imaginative worlds.
