Description
Laugh along with the messiness and magic of motherhood in this adorable story from TikTok's favorite nap-trapped mama, Emily Vondy.
Mama Koala has her hands full with four spunky joeys. So when the littlest koala falls asleep, she scoops him onto her back and continues the day. But keeping the baby asleep while playing, cleaning, peacekeeping, and all the other things on a busy mama's list starts to feel impossible. Can she take care of everyone—including herself?
This silly and heartwarming picture book . . .
- uses humor to show kids how hard parents work;
- celebrates a family, including brothers and sisters, working together to take care of its littlest member;
- honors the overwhelming experience of having a new baby in the family; and
- encourages moms that sometimes the most important task is enjoying a special moment with your children.
Take a break for a koala cuddle with your own little joey as you treasure each other and celebrate the love and dedication that make a family.

The artwork was so well done. The story was adorable. As a mom, i can completely relate to mama koala throughout the whole book. But especially on how sometimes being nap trapped is the best thing.

Such a cute debut!! I love watching Emily's videos so I knew I wanted to read this book! It did not disappoint. Such a sweet cute story to add to any child's collection.

Nap Trapped is such a delightful read! The vibrant, fun, and cheerful illustrations immediately caught our attention, and the adorable koalas made the story even more charming.
The book follows a busy day in the life of Mama and her four cubs as they play, explore, and navigate the ups and downs of family life. There are plenty of fun moments, a few sibling squabbles, and, throughout it all, so much love, patience, and respect. It’s a sweet, relatable story that captures the joy and chaos of family in a way both children and adults will appreciate. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would happily recommend it!
I was blessed with an ARC. Thank you NetGalley. The opinions expressed are my own and unbiased.

This book is adorable! I follow Emily Vondy on her socials, and I love watching her content. She's so relatable. This story is super cute for the kids and also sweet for the moms. I have loved being nap trapped by my babies at times! I plan to order a physical copy of this book for my house. The illustrations are precious too!
