Does your little one get you up at the crack of dawn every day? Kids and parents alike will love this silly, heartwarming story about a boy who loves to daydream and the mother who realizes that she loves him just the way he is. In a tone similar to the style of Robert Munsch, “Robbie the Early Riser” goes through the waking, sleeping, and eating routine of a young boy whose mother thinks there is something wrong with him because he gets up so early. It uses humour, repetition, and charmingly expressive illustrations to explain, in terms that all ages will understand, how this mother-son duo overcomes conflict and learns to embrace creativity.
