Did you know that babies yawn in the womb? Do you cover your mouth when you yawn as if it were something to hide? Do you find yourself yawning when someone else does?

Yawn by Sally Symes is a playful children's book with bold and colorful illustrations by Nick Sharratt. It begins with the yawn of a little boy named Sean, which is then picked up and duplicated by a cat, a bird, a fish, a mole, a pig, a bee, a bunny, and an elephant. Yawns are contagious in this world of connections where we all share the need to sleep. Here is a concept that surely looked good on the drawing board and is even better as a fully realized book.
