Book Nook: Sean Awesome - A Mission at Night

Sean Awesome: A Mission at Night by Ms. Yellow and Mr. Wide, is the first in the new Sean Awesome series by the duo. In a cultural moment when we’re recognizing how important it is for kids to see themselves represented in literature, the Sean Awesome books are the first of their kind—carefully constructed with intentionally blank cut paper illustrations that invite children to project themselves onto the characters and into the story. Regardless of who they are, children will see themselves reflected back in these adorable characters. 

Sean Awesome is an imaginative boy who is scared to sleep in his own room all by himself, even though his Mommy tells him he should try. One night, Sean comes up with a plan to sleep in mommy’s room instead of his own—and his mission at night begins! With a tablecloth for an invisibility cloak, sunglasses and a mustache as a secret agent disguise, Sean embarks on a courageous adventure to overcome his (probably exhausted) mother’s wishes and sleep in her room. His mission is ultimately accomplished, when he finds the courage to sleep in his own room through his mission.

Sean Awesome: A Mission at Night is funny, innovative, and imaginative, and is sure to become a perennial favorite series that readers of beloved characters like Olivia and Pete the Cat will flock to.
