Young children lie in bed with a curious question on their minds. If people count sheep to fall asleep, what do sheep count when sleep won't come? Their minds begin to wander as they imagine the possibilities. Perhaps sheep count clouds drifting across the night sky, or maybe they count stars twinkling overhead. The children's creativity takes flight as they dream up answer after answer. Each possibility seems more delightful than the last. Through their innocent wondering, the children discover that imagination itself might be the most wonderful thing of all. This gentle bedtime story celebrates the power of curiosity and the magic that happens when young minds are free to explore impossible questions.
