with behavioral issues and discovered painting as a means of
expression. Since then, Bansch has focused on painting pictures
with acrylic on paper or canvas; illustrating children's books; and
making dolls, puppets, and objects of sandstone, clay, and
papier-mâché. She lives in Austria. Visit her

"Avoiding the pedantic tone that can appear in books that explicitly address childhood anxieties, Janisch and Bansch tackle sleeplessness with bustling text and hoppy illustrations reminiscent of quirky European theater performance. At bedtime, when it's time to settle down and relax, a pajama-clad child doesn't count sheep, but giants instead—34 of them."—Publishers Weekly
