Sleep Well, Siba and Saba Children's Book by Nansubuga Nagadya Isdhal

Whether it be sandals, sweaters or slippers, forgetful sisters Siba and Saba are always losing something! Each night, in peaceful slumber, the girls dream of all the things they have lost in the daytime. Until one day, their dreams surprise them.

Sleep Well, Siba and Saba is a wonderful story set in Uganda, where dreams come to life. Author Nansubuga Nagadya Ishdhal uses melodic lullaby-like language to transport readers to a magical place, sure to help you drift off to sleep. The lilting language and gentle illustrations by Sandra Van Doorn pay tribute to Ugandan Folklore. A heartwarming story of heritage and heart, where two girls learn that big dreams are yet to come.
