What happens inside your brain when you fall asleep?

Did you know your brain stays busy while you sleep? Each night, little helpers inside the brain sort through knowledge, emotions, and experiences from the day. One day, a new helper joined a team. Curious how it went?

Meet Nopa and his new teammate Kico — two "little helpers" inside the brain! Follow along as they take on their challenging night shift.

In this vibrant and captivating story, young readers are invited into the busy world inside the brain — where little helpers work through the night, sorting and organizing all the knowledge and experiences collected during the day.

We Need Time, Please! is a beautifully illustrated adventure that turns a complex scientific concept into an easy-to-follow story. It's perfect for helping children understand the importance of a good night's sleep and appreciate the incredible work their brain does while they're sleeping.

Helpful for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to share the importance of sleep with young readers in a fun way.
