Goodnight, Little Ghost

Parents will reach for this book when the evening transition feels frantic and their child needs a gentle, sensory anchor to wind down for sleep. It is particularly effective for children who experience nighttime anxiety or those who struggle to settle their bodies after a busy day of play. Goodnight, Little Star follows the rhythmic journey of a young star preparing for rest, waving goodnight to the various elements of the night sky. Through a blend of soft rhyming verse and mindfulness cues like deep breathing, the story reinforces themes of emotional security and self-worth. It serves as both a soothing bedtime ritual and a quiet confidence builder, reminding children that they are safe, loved, and possess a unique inner light. Designed for toddlers and preschoolers, the book acts as a behavioral model for sleep hygiene. By seeing Little Star yawn and settle, children are encouraged to mirror these calming actions, making the move from playtime to dreamtime feel like a shared, magical experience rather than a chore.
