In this hilarious new picture book, a boy’s yawn sparks a chain reaction that sweeps through his town and across the city—before circling back home for the perfect bedtime ending.

Not just any yawn—but a yawn so big that it travels far and wide?
From the cozy corner of one small home, this yawn stretches out the door, down bustling streets and through parks and playgrounds, before circling back home again.
