About This Book
Reach for this book when the nightly ritual of 'one more glass of water' or 'there is a monster in the closet' has pushed you to your limit. It is the perfect tool for parents dealing with a clever stall-tactician who uses every excuse to avoid the pillow. By humorously flipping the script, the story allows children to see their own behavior from the outside, turning a point of conflict into a shared laugh. The story follows Roderick, a boy who specializes in bedtime delays until his parents give him a 'Goodnight Buddy' named Sleepy. To Roderick's surprise, Sleepy is more demanding and anxious than he is, eventually exhausting the boy into falling asleep just to get some peace. It is a brilliant exercise in empathy and self-reflection for children aged 4 to 8, helping them understand the exhaustion of caregiving while providing a gentle, funny path toward better bedtime habits.
