Description
When a young girl sees a spider on her way to bed, she and her dog think up ways to get rid of the spider. In a big, big city on a busy street at the tipity-top of a tall building lives a girl. One night, after a story, a snuggle, and one last sip of water, she was getting sleepy...when out of the corner of her eye... a spider. The girl was no longer sleepy. Now, she was...awake.
In a brilliant debut, Mags DeRoma gives us an empowered young child who is trying to solve the biggest problem she's ever faced: how to get the spider out of her room without actually having to go near it. With bold cut-paper art, Awake is sure to stay with readers for a long time.
