Guests roll in fashionably late to Maman house, greeting with cheek-kisses and a joyful “kelelele!” while sports hum on TV and “Joft sheesh!” echoes over backgammon. Kids zigzag through the rooms, babies get thoroughly “nahzed,” and the kitchen keeps sending out Aush, tahdig, Gondi, Ghormeh Sabzi, and lemony kheeyar. When bellies growl, Dance dishes out heaping plates and gentle etiquette—“Merci” and “dastet dard nakone”—before the ritual tarof about taking leftovers. Chai and mint seal the night, “Khodahafez” floats at the door, and the lesson lands: her food gathers everyone like a hug.

The story follows a young child who is moving from the comfort of a crib into their very first bed. At first, the change feels exciting—Sammy gets to jump, bounce, and see his new bedspread. But when bedtime comes, he realizes that without the crib’s familiar bars, his room feels a little too big and a little too different. Shadows stretch longer, the floor feels farther away, and he worries he might roll right out. With the help of his favorite stuffed animal, a reassuring bedtime routine, and gentle words from Mom and Dad, Sammy discovers that sleeping in a big kid bed can be both safe and special. By morning, he feels proud of himself for taking the leap—and excited for many more nights in his new bed.
