A baby finally falls asleep with the rest of the world in this new picture book from Kate and Jules Feiffer. Even though the stars are out and the moon is bright, the baby says "No go sleep!" But as the surrounding world gradually goes to sleep - first the sun, then the moon, then the sheep, tree, and owl - the baby finally, finally, finally falls asleep too. In this event, the Feiffers will talk about how they worked together to create the book and engage attendees in creating their own story.

Kate Feiffer is a writer, a filmmaker, and a mother. The New York Times Book Review heralded Ms. Feiffer's "economy of style and understated wit" in her debut picture book Double Pink, illustrated by Bruce Ingman. She has collaborated with her father Jules Feiffer on two other picture books, Henry, the Dog with No Tail and Which Puppy? Her other works include President Pennybaker, My Mom is Trying to Ruin My Life, and The Wild, Wild Inside, as well as a middle-grade novel, The Problem with the Puddles.

Jules Feiffer is one of the most influential editorial cartoonists of our time, as well as a playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and an author and illustrator of children's books. Mr. Feiffer's many awards and honors for his work include a Pulitzer Prize, an Academy Award, and an Obie Award. His books for children include The Phantom Tollbooth (written by Norton Juster), The Man in the Ceiling, and Bark, George.
