Los Angeles, California Nov 12, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Diana Yacobi’s charming picture book “Everyone is Asleep But Me” continues to earn acclaim for its calming tone, emotional warmth, and child-centered approach to bedtime struggles. Inspired by a true story from the author’s own family, this gentle tale follows Sleepy Bear as he wrestles with restlessness while the rest of his room — from his toys to the sun itself — sleeps soundly.
Originally born from a phone conversation with her daughter about her grandson’s early wakeups, “Everyone is Asleep But Me” transforms a relatable challenge into a cozy and comforting story that children and parents can enjoy together.
In a glowing review, Hollywood Book Reviews notes, “This is a lovely story… which makes the story more heartfelt and is written to be read out loud, which makes it ideal for bedtime.” Reviewer Liz Konkel highlights the soft hues and facial expressions on Sleepy Bear’s toys, calling the visuals “a great choice to create the aura of nighttime.” The review praises Yacobi’s conversational tone and accessible writing, which gives “children room to laugh, listen, and respond.”
With whimsical illustrations by Philip L. Wohlrab and a helpful sticker chart for sleep tracking, the book also doubles as a practical tool for parents navigating transitions from crib to bed. More than a story, “Everyone is Asleep But Me” is a nighttime ritual in the making — one that helps children feel safe, seen, and soothed.
Perfect for ages 0–7, this modern bedtime classic is now available from Olympus Story House and other major retailers.
