As a little girl, my heart gravitated toward the captivating realm of storytelling. I have spent hours with my sister, immersed in imaginative adventures, laying the foundation for my journey as a children's book author. Growing up, my love for words deepened, recognizing their profound impact on young minds. I realized stories weren't just for bedtime; they shaped our perceptions of challenges and possibilities.
This epiphany ignited my purpose—to inspire young souls through my writing. My books aim to uplift, motivate, and equip children to overcome obstacles with resilience and positivity. Each narrative is more than a tale; it affirms hope and courage. Life's dragons may loom large, but I want every child to believe in their bravery to conquer them.

Too Excited to Sleep! is a children's picture book written by Tammy Christian and illustrated by Jiya Daim. The story is about Jack, a little mouse who is always eager to play with his school friends and gets excited whenever it is nap time. He finds it difficult to sleep, which worries his teacher, Mrs. Peacock. She advises him to rest as it will make him healthy and strong. Unfortunately, Jack still struggles to fall asleep, which leads Mrs. Peacock to let him stay awake and play quietly as long as he does not disturb his classmates or leave his mat. Despite following the rules, Jack soon encounters some cunning visitors who try to lure him off his mat. Will he obey his teacher's instructions or fall for the visitors' tricks?
Too Excited to Sleep! is a delightful story that teaches children to be courageous and the importance of taking their naps to stay strong and healthy. It introduces adorable characters like Jack and Mrs. Peacock, providing an opportunity for children to connect and relate to them. Tammy Christian uses a conversational tone and simple words, making the book engaging and easy to understand. The colorful illustrations are my favorite part because they complement the story perfectly and bring each character to life. The artwork is bright and vibrant, giving the book a happy vibe. I enjoyed reading this story and highly recommend it to parents and caregivers of toddlers who struggle to fall asleep. Overall, this is great work.
