The same team who brought you Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night? have engineered another rollicking bedtime story—for train lovers everywhere!
 
Have you ever wondered what little trains do when it’s time for bed? The same things you do! Freight trains, passenger trains, subways, trolleys—and more—wash up, have a snack, load their teddies for story time, and get rocked to sleep by mommy and daddy trains beneath a blanket of stars. Little train lovers with a one-track mind will gain a new affinity for their bedtime routine when they find they share it with their favorite vehicles.

“Sayres and Slade move naturally from their truck lullaby, Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night? , to this nighttime serenade to all things train. Hopeful engineers will want to be able to identify the many different types of trains, and their out-of-the-know adults will appreciate this inclusive primer.” —Kirkus Reviews

Brianna Caplan Sayres used to tell her second graders, “When I grow up, I’m going to be a writer.” “But you are grown up, Mrs. Sayres,” her students would protest. Well, Brianna is still not quite sure she’s grown up, but she has grown into a writer. Brianna’s picture books include the Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night? series, illustrated by Christian Slade, Tiara Saurus Rex, illustrated by Mike Boldt, and Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?: A Hardboiled Mystery, illustrated by Mark Fearing. Can you guess what the next diggers book will be? If you said, Diggers Love Their Grandparents (coming in 2026!), you were right! 
 
Brianna has recently returned to her hometown, Seattle, Washington, where she loves to have adventures with her two wonderful boys. You can visit Brianna on the web at briannacaplansayres.com or facebook.com/authorbrianna View titles by Brianna Caplan Sayres
