Snowball and the Not-Quite-Ordinary Room

by Heidi Torres

The corner of Brady’s room looks almost ready to float, so he sets out to build a bedtime boat for Snowball, his ragdoll kitten. A folded quilt becomes the boat; a chair helps hold up a sail, and a cushion offers a soft seat for the sleepy passenger. But each new idea seems to leave Snowball just a little farther away. When Snowball’s paws reach past the cushion and back toward Brady, he has to wonder: is the boat making bedtime better—or getting in the way of what Snowball wants?

Brady keeps adjusting the quilt, watching Snowball, and listening for clues in every pat, purr, and gentle rustle. Their small bedroom adventure turns an ordinary bedtime into a tender moment of figuring out how to be close. With cozy details, playful sounds, and a reassuring rhythm, this picture-book story is a warm choice for sharing with preschoolers at bedtime or any quiet moment together.
