Reach for this book when the transition from a busy day to a quiet bedroom feels a bit too big or daunting for your child. It is designed specifically for those moments when a little one needs to feel that the world around them is safe, soft, and watching over them as they sleep. Through a series of thirteen gentle poems, the book personifies the moon, blankets, and toys as companions in the dark. These verses transform the 'scary' quiet of the night into a lyrical and comforting space. Perfect for children ages 3 to 7, this collection uses gouache illustrations to create a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. Parents will find this an effective tool for calming a racing mind and normalizing the experience of settling into bed, turning a routine chore into a moment of shared wonder and peace.
