Two children asleep against pillows atop striped blanket. Child on left holding doll with red outfit and yellow plumes in red hat. Girl on right has pink bow in hair.

In this companion to Our Pets: Wide Awake, two children are shown cuddled together sleeping. One child holds a doll wearing a foreign costume. The children, reclining on cloud-like pillows, appear angelic. The title of the work, a term of endearment, further suggests the innocence and purity of the two youngsters.
