Naptastrophe!

In Jarrett J. Krosoczka's 'Naptastrophe!', young Lucy is convinced she doesn't need a nap, despite her dad's gentle suggestions. Her determination to stay awake leads to a series of increasingly overwhelming experiences during a simple errand run, culminating in a classic 'naptastrophe.' This vibrant picture book humorously captures the universal struggle of naptime resistance and the inevitable meltdown that follows when a child pushes past their limits. It's a perfect read-aloud for parents and children aged 3-7, offering a lighthearted way to discuss the importance of rest and listening to one's body.

When Lucy insists she does not need a nap before accompanying her dad on errands she discovers that she is more tired than she realizes.
