Toddler Hannah wakes up in the middle of the night to a "day" full of surprises: with the rest of her family asleep, she is free to raid the fridge and borrow her sister's best stuff. The brief text telegraphs Hannah's exhilaration; the illustrations, in dark blues, purples, and pinks, are contained inside softly rounded borders, giving readers a sense of safety and security.
