Michael's new baby sister arrives
He wonders what happens to her when his mother takes her out of the bedroom and returns her fast asleep.
The mystery unveils itself when he finally succeeds after several attempts at investigating and he's totally surprised!
Michael was a normal 10-month old, who liked playing with his toys, crawling around, and getting into mischief. But he didn't like being told "no" when he was exploring new things. He especially didn't like the Sleep Dragon. Each night his mother thought she heard through the bedroom door, Michael crying.
But these were not cries, they were the sounds of Michael magically turning into Sir Michael the Sleep Fighter as he raged fierce battles with the Sleep Dragon who seemed to return each night for another epic battle.

of the month. But, Gabrielle arrived on the 15th,
healthy, with ten fingers and ten toes, and smiling.

But this was only the first part of her amazing day. Gabrielle in her swimsuit, Ladybug flip-flops and Ladybug sunglasses wet her feet in the sea, made sand castles, rolled in the sand and chased seagulls.
ABOUT
Mosina Jordan
Born on December 14, 1943, in Brooklyn, New York, as a child Mosina Jordan dreamed of being a medical doctor. In pursuit of her dream, she attended New York University and majored in pre-med and mathematics. During the summer of her junior year, while volunteering in Beth-Israel Hospital, she observed an autopsy and realized that being a medical doctor wasn't for her. After graduating from New York University, she worked as a mathematician for a short period with the John Hopkins University Physics Laboratory before attending law school at Howard University. She and her husband moved to and lived on the West coast before ultimately settling back in Washington, DC where she received her Juris Doctorate from American University Law School.
She had a distinguished 34-year career in public service: working as an attorney advisor for the Community Service Administration; Foreign Service Officer for the U.S. Agency for International Development - serving as Deputy Mission Director, Mission Director, Assistant Deputy Administrator for Latin America and the Caribbean, Acting Administrator for Management, and Counselor to the Agency; and Ambassador to the Central African Republic for the U.S. Department of State; and receiving many Presidential Awards for her outstanding career service.
She found her passion for writing children's books when she retired and was inspired by her real-life experiences raising three small children. Living and working in Africa and the Caribbean, and traveling the globe, she tried to instill in her children intellectual curiosity, compassion, respect for others, self-confidence and strong leadership skills. These values are reflected in the children's books she writes.
