Unicorn, Go to Bed!: Unicorn, Go to Bed!

This time I mean it! You heard what I said.

It's way past your bedtime. UNICORN, GO TO BED!

Just one last thing...could I have a night-light?

Just something small, not too big or too bright.

And could you leave the door open a crack?

And hum lullabies while you tickle me back...

What do you do when your unicorn just won't go to bed? The tables are turned in this hilariously relatable story of one young girl's struggle to wrangle her little unicorn to sleep, despite the unicorn's escalating antics to stay awake past her bedtime.

Chiara Galletti almost choked on the umbilical cord, but fortunately she was born without further mishap. As a witty embryo, she had already discovered how hard life was. But there was a way to overcome that: drawing! And so she took to the pencil and drew her first line, a sine wave, and felt better already! Chiara is a children's book illustrator and character designer with a degree in advertising from the University for Foreigners of Perugia, where she lives. Now she specialies in E-design at the Academy of Digital Arts Nemo in Florence. Currently she is working in advertising, publishing, and web as a freelancer and organizing drawing workshops for children and adults at the Biblioteca delle Nuvole of Perugia. Chiara is very curious and loves learning new things and observing the world around her in every way possible: by traveling, by reading, by watching movies, by visiting art exhibitions, by meeting new people. Drawing for her is not a hobby or a job; it is a mission. She likes to make people happy with her art and her colors.

Cottage Door Press is an independent publisher of high-quality children's books. Our books are designed to spark curiosity in the littlest readers and fan the flames of lifelong learning. We understand children deserve our respect. That's why we always select artwork and stories that encourage caregivers to "read up" to their little ones--exploring interests together, learning together, and giving their young minds room to grow.

We also believe in creating stories that reflect the boundless possibilities of all children. We hope to create books that inspire little ones to connect, encourage them to dream, give them cause to celebrate, and allow them to see themselves beautifully reflected in the stories they read.

To bring these beautiful stories to life, our diverse and talented staff collaborates with authors and illustrators from all backgrounds and nationalities. We have also partnered with multicultural brands and literacy organizations to make sure our books reflect and reach as many little ones as possible.
