For Justin and Matt, who made the Pillow Fairy such a magical time. To Steve, for all of his love and support. And to my dear friends and family, whose encouragement helped make The Pillow Fairy a reality.
Dedicated to all the mommies and daddies who never sleep alone...

He liked to do all the things that happy, active three year olds do... 1
He liked to ride his bike, 2
play with his dog Gypsy,

and eat macaroni and cheese.

Sleep in his own bed—all by himself. 5
Matt’s mommy and daddy had to lie down with him every night.
Either in his bed‌. 6
or in theirs 7
