Meet Amanda Nichole, a bright and lovable little girl with one big problem—she is always grumpy when she wakes up. No matter how much sleep she gets or how gently her grandparents try to wake her, mornings are always a struggle. That is, until Granddaddy makes a magical discovery deep in the woods. Hidden beneath the trees lives a cheerful and mysterious creature called a Giddylop—a whimsical being from the far side of the moon whose mission is to spread joy, especially to children who wake up grumpy. When Granddaddy brings the injured Giddylop home, a delightful adventure begins, one that changes Amanda Nichole’s mornings forever.
