"Playfully and loudly, Millie started to sing,
"Playfully and loudly, Millie started to sing,
I can't fall asleep; you forgot one thing!"
I can't fall asleep; you forgot one thing!"
J.T. Roy's debut children's book, Millie Bananas Can’t Sleep, is about a cute little monkey who is just about to fall asleep... until she realizes her parents forgot the most important step of her bedtime routine! Through rhyming and repetition, the whole family retraces their steps trying to figure out what was missed. It’s a story that kids will love and is relatable for parents who feel like bedtime some nights, is like wrangling a wild pack of monkeys!

"What a fun and cute book! Our granddaughter loves Millie Bananas and it’s the only book that she’ll sit still long enough for us to read together. The illustrations are so captivating and fun. Love the bedtime routine as kids thrive on routine. Just a great fun book that kids of all ages will love to read again and again! It’s a great book to give to new parents, grandparents and also to have in classrooms and daycares."
"This book is so stinking cute!!! The storyline is so heartwarming and touching. As an auntie who has taken care of my nieces many times, I can also confirm that the bedtime routine is relatable and helpful for toddlers. I have been sending this to all of my friends who are new (or soon to-be) parents, and I am really hoping for future Millie Bananas books - this character is too sweet! 10/10 recommend."
"Millie Bananas can’t sleep is a captivating story for our little one that has our toddler wanting to hear it over and over before bedtime. Having a bedtime routine ourself, our toddler knows what’s coming next and it always ends with goodnight kisses. Highly recommend to everyone as this book has quickly become one of our favorites!!"
