Why I sleep
Mimi Werna
African Storybook
English

I love reading but I must sleep often, so I can rest.

1

I like to play with my little sister. It calms me, but I still need sleep.

2

After I sleep, my mind is sharp to enjoy my day and nature.

3

Sleep keeps my mood positive.

This helps me enjoy being with people.

4

Sleeping gives me energy to do all the things I love when I wake up.

5

That includes, enjoying my fruits and vegetables.

6

And playing in the fields with my friends.

7

I must sleep to grow, glow, and go!
