About This Book
Reach for this book when the nightly struggle to get your child into bed feels like an uphill battle. It is specifically designed for the preschooler or early elementary child who views bedtime as a boring end to their fun rather than a restful beginning. By reframing the bed not as a place of confinement, but as a launchpad for incredible adventures, it helps lower the anxiety and resistance often associated with lights-out. The story follows Zebedee, a boy who discovers his bed is actually a magical, shape-shifting companion. Together, they transform into seagulls and dolphins, meeting mermaids and exploring the world while the rest of the house sleeps. For parents, this rhyming tale is a tool to encourage imaginative play and creative thinking. It validates a child's desire for agency and excitement while gently guiding them toward the comfort of sleep, ending with a clever wink that suggests the line between dreams and reality might be thinner than we think.
