Description
Come cuddle with me / My sweet sleepyhead, / The time has come / To get ready for bed. / You might find yourself wishing / For infinite days, / But nighttime is magic in so many ways. Whether it's trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, sleeping alone, or more, plenty of kids (and their adults!) struggle with bedtime. Book seven in the popular Feel Better Books for Little Kids series tackles this all-too-common problem. This sweet, rhyming narrative talks about all the reasons sleep is great, why it's important for our bodies, and how kids can learn to get to sleep with ease. Concrete strategies are presented in a gentle, affirming, and easy-to-access way. Vibrant yet soft watercolor illustrations show the joy in nighttime and bedtime. Sleep doesn't have to be a struggle! Come see all the ways it can be beautiful instead. Included is a reader's note for adults with more information on supporting kids through the bedtime routine, sleep fears, and more.
