Beep! Beep! Go To Sleep! (Little, Brown, 2015)

Illustrated by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco. This is the story of a boy who struggles to put his rambunctious robots to bed.

Robots and rocket ships and space have a childlike wonder, but they also represent the deeper questions about our place in the universe. When I think about the meaning of my life, I think a lot about my kids. So this is my book for Sam, who loved mechanical things as a child.

Three little robots,

Time for bed.

Time to dim
Your infrared.

Brush your rotors

‘round and ’round.

Clean your shields

And power down.
