Deep beneath the turquoise sea, there lives a Pearl...
...And when she sleeps, something wonderful and mysterious happens. The Slumbering Pearl dreams the Universe. But there is a problem. Although she is very tired, the Pearl refuses to sleep. Can the other creatures of the sea help her sleep so she can dream the Universe into existence?

From the Author
Like most new parents, my wife and I quickly discovered the fragile nature of sleep for our new baby. Why would our daughter resist something so necessary and universal? My background as a director and screenwriter led me to channel this timeless conundrum into a story that would become my first children's book.
My wife is originally from Latvia, and when she discovered the work of award-winning Latvian artist Gita Treice, she immediately felt Gita's illustrations would be the perfect compliment to my story. And indeed, upon sending the story to her, Gita was so inspired she began work before we had even formally partnered on the book. A true artist, Gita deeply understood the essence of our fable, and her illustrations have a sublime and timeless beauty.
I hope The Slumbering Pearl will comfort exhausted parents and inspire their children to embrace the beauty of sweet slumber.
