Wink the Nimble Ninja is the star of the Lucky Dragon Circus! But-yawn-being a circus performer is hard work and-yawn-Wink is tired. It is time, Grandmother says, for Wink to take a nap. But every time Wink tries to lie down, his fans show up. They won't let him sleep! Fortunately, with the help of Master Zutsu and the Summer Moon School for Young Ninjas, Wink comes up with the perfect plan to find a good place to nap-alone. Illustrated with striking collages, this is a funny, high-energy follow-up to Wink: The Ninja Who Wanted to Be Noticed.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Bright patterns and heavy textures give the paper-collage illustrations a 3D look. Phillipps cranks up the visual energy by strewing her brightly lit street scenes with laughing figures, arms and legs flung out joyfully. Not a snoozer!
--Kirkus

Phillipps offers wit aplenty in cut-paper compositions that match Wink's boundless energy and bravado. Even when sleepy, her hero demands to be noticed. --Publisher's Weekly

It all started with a Halloween costume. A boy in a bright red ninja costume was hopping around, waving his arms, and my husband remarked, "That's a ninja who wants to be noticed."

Three years later, my first picture book, WINK: THE NINJA WHO WANTED TO BE NOTICED was published.

If you liked the first Wink book, perhaps you'd enjoy the second, WINK: THE NINJA WHO WANTED TO NAP. My first non-ninja book, MONKEY ONO, is about a stuffed monkey who desperately wants to get to the beach and tries many Mission:Impossible style plans to get there. My most recent book, THE SIMPLES LOVE A PICNIC is a silly story about a simple little family who wants to have a simply little picnic, but things get very, very complicated!

I'm a busy mom, wife, artist, writer, illustrator, and cat owner. The sled:person ratio in our house is 3:1, and I own the world's cheapest and most un-cool cell phone. I am a hella good baker and a hella bad housekeeper. To see what I'm up to visit my blog: www.ninjawoman.blogspot.com or my website: www.jcphillipps.com.

Instant Favorite... Hurray for Wink!

My son wants to be a Ninja for Halloween. We also have a "literature parade" at school where the kids choose a character from a book and then dress up like them for the parade (also at halloween time), but he character cannot be violent or scary. Wink is perfect!! This book is absolutely adorable and both my 6-year-old son and my 10-year-old daughter loved it. Wink learns to make lemons out of lemonade when he realizes he doesn't want to be "stealthy". Anyone who has a k-2 boy understands that they just can't be quiet or sit still and Wink is no different. Notice the drapes in Grandmother's house? Cute!! Cute!! Cute!! And a lesson, be true to yourself and the person you are. Lovely! BTW, we purchased this book used and it arrived in perfectly new condition at half the price (from an amazon seller).

This is a great book for all you ninja lovers out there! And maybe for you ninja lovers that aren't so good at being ninja! Wink finally discovers what he is truly great at and uses some of his ninja skills to do it! Our Ninja loving 4 year old loves this book. We read it all the time!

I love this book, and so does the 4 year old I gave it to. It even captured his 8 year old brother's attention, and he rarely sits still for a story! Beautiful art and a wonderful message, perfect for boys obsessed with ninjas or anyone who needs a reminder that it is not her ability to blend into the croud but rather her ability to put to use her unique gifts that give her value.

My ninja enthusiast loves this book

In the same vain as Tacky the Penguin, J.C. Phillips tells a story of a hero who marches to the beat of his own drum. It was also a great introduction to my 5 year old on the use of metaphors and analogies as a form of expression. I bought this along with a set of Ninja Matryoshkas (Nesting Dolls) and I think it was his favorite present of all the dozens of Christmas gifts he got!

Fun read!

I enjoyed this story very much. Who doesn't love a ninja? It's charming and fun with great art and a wonderful message. I love that Wink was supported to pursue his dream and I love that he realizes his dream isn't all he thought it would be, but with a little modification and perseverence, his dream becomes a reality that's even better.
