The girls are now in the other room with their mother, who is trying to get them to fall asleep. Every few moments, Rachel stirs from near slumber and shrieks, “I can’t sleep! I want to play!” It is a harsh sound, filled with anger and pain, like a knife blade jabbed in your back. Meanwhile, her sister babbles happily, not at all close to falling asleep.

No, I really am not going to get any rest tonight.

  Hey, Jeff! Perfect timing for comments to be added. We tried an older version of this book with my son Owen:

  It turned out he suffered more from food allergies and the resulting eczema than poor sleeping habits.
