Inspired by my husband’s research on sleep and our daily routine of making herbal tea at night time, Qui A Sommeil is a set of 3 books, 3 small pillows of comforting thoughts and smells that invite one to dream, sleep, hear the zzzzs of night owls and early birds, snoozers, snorers, dozers and nappers, light sleepers and sound sleepers, dreamers and insomniacs, sleeping beauties and narcoleptics, forty winkers and the sandman.
