"I don't like to nap but I do like to dream."

Meet Shawn, a bright 5-year-old girl with a head so brimming with science and imagination that she has no patience for naptime, much to the exasperation of her parents. The world, and the cosmos in particular, is simply far too interesting to stop and rest. On this day, her friend Lamp, despite having no cord and no bulb, triggers a wide awake adventure when it reveals its greatest dream is to learn to fly and become the moon. Launch into a voyage fit for mission control as Shawn and her lamp, with the guidance of the audience, escape another naptime and blast into space.
