The Yawns Are Coming! is a playful bedtime, sleepover story about two best friends who have grand plans to stay up all night. But as the night progresses, personified yawns, dozes, and snores start showing up, chasing them and interrupting their fun. No matter how hard they try to resist or hide, the yawns find them and soon they must face the sleepy inevitability.

The narrative leans on humor, exaggeration, and cartoon-style visuals to make the silly chase entertaining while nudging children gently toward sleep.
