Mom, Wake Up and Play!

Reach for this book when you have a little one who consistently pops out of bed before the sun, ready to start their day while you are still desperately needing five more minutes of sleep. It is a perfect tool for those weekend mornings when you want to validate your child's boundless energy while gently teaching the concept of quiet time and patience. The story follows Miko, a high-energy mouse who tries everything to get his sleeping mother to wake up and join his games. Through humorous illustrations and relatable antics, the book mirrors the internal struggle of a toddler who loves their parent but finds it impossible to sit still. It emphasizes the bond between mother and child while modeling that waiting can be a time for independent creativity. Parents will appreciate the way it normalizes the 'early bird' behavior without making the child feel like a nuisance, ultimately ending in a warm, shared moment of play once Mom is finally awake.
