Author Allie MacPhail and Illustrator Jace McKinney celebrate the release of their new children’s book “I Can’t Sleep” published by Turtle Back Publishing. A year long process well worth the time. What a team!

“I Can’t Sleep“- a common complaint for young and old. The story follows the creative mind of a fourth grade boy as he struggles to fall asleep. This book is a fun way to address the worries from our day that tend to come to mind at night. Written by Allie MacPhail, Illustrated by Jace McKinney
