The story of Who Stole My Sleep? comes from Tagore children’s poem Sleep-stealer. The book is started with an open proposition Who stole my sleep, the readers then are guided to imagine the sleep stealer in their mind.

It is time to go to bed but I couldn’t get to sleep at all. What makes me sleepless? Is it because I had too much candy before going to bed? I start counting sleep to get to sleep but it is not helpful at all. I want to know who stole my sleep. How does it look like? Is it my toy? Something with lot of teeth, probably with black hair all around…... who stole his sleep? An interesting and infinite imagination game is getting stared.
