A Quill; Quire Best Book of the Year! A whimsical and lyrical celebration of imagination and exploration if we simply asked, 'What if ...'?? Follow two siblings through their day as they let their imaginations run wild in this joyful story about all the possibilities a simple 'what if' can conjure up: What if the monsters in your closet wanted to be your friend? What if all of the dinosaurs were shrunk to be teeny-tiny when the comet hit the earth? And what if bedtime didn't exist and we could imagine anything we wanted? What If Bedtime Didn't Exist? places an Urban Indigenous family at the heart of a fun and fantastical celebration of daydreaming, adventure, and play while living in the city. The tenderness and care in this intergenerational home is seen through relationships with all members in the family. Mathias Ball's vibrant illustrations bring each page of acclaimed author Francine Cunningham's debut picture book to life. What If Bedtime Didn't Exist? opens up new spaces for creativity and endless possibilities into our everyday world.
