While sheltering in place, take a break from the day to day at home and the bustle of being virtually back at school. Grab your kids, their friends who they miss playing with, and their cousins who you couldn’t visit this summer and get together – virtually – for a feel good, laugh out loud story time

Roderick hates going to bed and has become quite resourceful in coming up with ways to delay the dreaded hour when the lights must go out. Roderick’s loving parents—fed up with the distractions and demands that have become his anti-bedtime ritual—decide to get him a stuffed animal to cuddle with and help wind him down. However, Sleepy quickly proves to be a bit high-maintenance. Just when he fears the night may never end, Sleepy’s antics become too exhausting for Roderick to bear. How will a boy who routinely refuses to go to bed get a talkative stuffed animal to go to sleep?
