Red Sled

Reach for this book when you want to settle down for a cozy, quiet bedtime or when your child is beginning to notice the small, magical mysteries of the natural world. It is the perfect choice for a wind-down read that replaces a traditional narrative with a sensory, atmospheric experience. While the story technically follows a group of forest animals borrowing a child's sled for a nighttime romp, the heart of the book lies in its playful onomatopoeia and soft watercolor art. It captures the essence of secret joy and the wonder of winter. Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers, it encourages children to look at their own backyard with a sense of imaginative possibility, wondering what the local wildlife might be up to while the rest of the world sleeps.
