Sleepy Stories
Mario Levrero, Diego Bianki, Alicia Lopez
A buoyant account of the nightly tug-of-war between a sleepy father & his son, & the richly imaginative "sleepy stories" they create
Each story told in Sleepy Stories drifts deeper into a beguiling dream world, telling of an elastic gentleman who stretches his body across town to effortlessly slip into bed, or of another sleepy young man who curls inside an upside-down umbrella to take a snooze.
In Diego Bianki's magical universe, the waking world is made small (a French press & a red top hat shrink before our eyes), while the dream world Levrero & his son Nicolás build together (a land of sly frogs, giant apes, & smiling squids) waltzes across the page. On the last of Bianki's whimsical illustrations, Nicolás holds the book over his father's nodding head & says, "Another." This is a book to giggle with & curl up with, to take on every sleepy adventure.
