Bookroo's summary

Lola is a whirlwind of energy, refusing to sleep as she colors, scribbles, and chatters away. Her big brother Charlie faces the nightly challenge of convincing her it's bedtime. With humor and patience, Charlie navigates Lola's imaginative antics. Will he succeed in getting her to rest, or will Lola's boundless energy win the night? Dive into this delightful tale of sibling dynamics and bedtime adventures, where laughter and creativity abound.

From the publisher

“Whether they spot themselves in Charlie or Lola, young ones will enjoy this exuberant, hilarious spin on a bedtime story.” — BOOKLIST

Night owl Lola likes to stay up coloring and scribbling and wriggling and bouncing and chattering. Lola never gets tired. How can big brother Charlie convince her it’s time for bed? Heralded by the WASHINGTON POST as “a delightful new voice in children’s books,” author-illustrator Lauren Child splashes her offbeat sense of humor and unique artwork all over this bedtime story. Laugh out loud at Lola’s imaginative antics, but save a cheer for kind, patient Charlie, the big brother we’d all love to have.
