Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis has a new project on the horizon but it will be a few more sleeps until it arrives.
Curtis has teamed once again with illustrator Laura Cornell for a new children’s picture book titled Just One More Sleep: All Good Things Come to Those Who Wait…and Wait…and Wait. Curtis, a New York Times bestselling author, has previously authored such children’s offerings as Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born, Today I Feel Silly and I’m Gonna Like Me.
Just One More Sleep will be published in January from Philomel Books, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers. Per the publisher’s description, the book “celebrates the benefits of delayed gratification and explains why waiting can be wonderful. Waiting is not easy — especially for children, and they often measure the concept of time into how many more sleeps until the special day they are awaiting.
