The Best Sound in the World: A Bedtime Story for Kids Whose Grown-Ups Work Nights

By C.S. O'Donnell

Mama works the night shift.

Her day starts at seven at night and ends at six in the morning. That means her child's dinner is her breakfast, the goodnight comes out backward, and the only hour they get together is the one at sunrise.

Then a paper comes home from school. BRING YOUR GROWN-UP. THURSDAY AT TEN. Thursday at ten is the middle of Mama's night, and asking would cost her the only sleep she gets. So the child doesn't ask.

THE BEST SOUND IN THE WORLD is a bedtime story for the children of nurses, EMTs, drivers, cleaners, dispatchers, and everyone else the world needs awake while it sleeps. It is about what those children give up, what they notice, and the one hour that belongs to them.
