About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when the sun begins to set and a restless toddler needs help transitioning from the high energy of the day to the quiet of the night. It serves as a gentle bridge for children who feel a sense of hesitation or anxiety about the separation that bedtime represents, offering a rhythmic promise of return and safety. Through beautiful nature-based metaphors, the story illustrates how the world goes to sleep: the birds find their nests and the moon takes its place in the sky. This reinforces the idea that sleep is a natural, peaceful part of the world's rhythm. The soothing, repetitive cadence mimics a lullaby, making it an ideal choice for establishing a calm bedtime routine that fosters trust and emotional security for children aged zero to three.
