Illustrated by
Pamela Zagarenski.
A little scootering girl "who didn't want to go to sleep" asks her parents if everything in the world sleeps. Her parents assure her that dogs and cats, bats and whales, snails and bears and even tigers sleep. Eventually, the little girl mimics the animals and slowly falls asleep. Zagarenski's surreal mixed-media illustrations are as calm and comforting as Logue's understated prose.

YA
Chapters written by Branko, a sweet alien who must find an Earth-girl mate as his people face extinction, alternate with ones from Tonia, a "late bloomer" who rescues Branko from drowning. Love ensues. The two voices are deftly handled, the dark history behind Branko's mission is spun out enticingly, and the ending offers more food for thought than the usual teen romance fare.
