A parent would reach for this book when the lights are low but their child's energy is still high, especially after a long day where sleep feels like a distant goal. It is the perfect tool for those restless nights when a little one is tossing, turning, and needs a gentle, rhythmic distraction to help them settle their mind. This story follows Sam, a sheep who simply cannot find a way to drift off to sleep. Through bouncy, phonics-based rhymes, the book explores the common frustration of insomnia in a way that is playful rather than stressful. It is ideal for toddlers and preschoolers who are just beginning to recognize letter sounds and who will find comfort in seeing a character navigate the same bedtime struggles they face. Parents will appreciate how the repetitive rhyming structure serves as a natural sedative, slowing down the pace of the evening while building early literacy skills.
