About the author
Jamie Lee Curtis is the author of twelve best-selling children's books that address core childhood subjects and life lessons in a playful, accessible way. Jamie finds the inspiration for her writing all around her – in the experiences of her children, her godchildren, her friends – and of course in her own life. Her first book, When I Was Little, was sparked by her then-four-year-old daughter's boast that she was no longer “little.” Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born, a celebration of adoption and the start of a new family, was inspired by the adoption of her own children. And as an author, of course Jamie loves big words and knows that words have power. Her latest book, Big Words for Little People, gives young children the knowledge and power of their own “big words.” All of Jamie's best-selling picture books are illustrated by Laura Cornell: Big Words for Little People; Is There Really A Human Race?; It's Hard To Be Five: Learning How To Work My Control Panel; I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off A Little Self Esteem; Where Do Balloons Go? An Uplifting Mystery; Today I Feel Silly and Other Moods That Make My Day; Tell Me Again About The Night I Was Born; When I Was Little: A Four-Year-Old's Memoir of Her Youth; and This Is Me. Jamie is also well known as a film actress, with starring roles in such acclaimed films as Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Freaky Friday, True Lies, Trading Places and A Fish Called Wanda. Jamie is the mother of Annie and Thomas and is married to actor/director Christopher Guest. They live in California.
Laura Cornell is an illustrator, mom, handyman, gardener, swimmer, and bicyclist. She has illustrated many picture books, with this being her thirteenth title with Jamie Lee Curtis. She divides her time between New York City and Southern California. --This text refers to the hardcover edition.
Review
Praise for Just One More Sleep:
"Charming family fun." —Kirkus Reviews
"Giddy expectation fills the pages of this anticipatory holiday bonanza from previous collaborators Curtis and Cornell. Busy, sometimes spattered watercolors with sketchy outlines supply an unrestrained energy . . . It’s a raucous celebration of celebration, and a reminder that good things can be worth the wait." —Publishers Weekly
"An endearing book with lots of kid appeal." —School Library Journal --This text refers to the hardcover edition.
