Reach for this book when the evening energy is high and you need a rhythmic, gentle way to transition your toddler from play to rest. It speaks to the universal need for a predictable wind-down ritual that feels safe, loving, and celebratory of the day's end. Through the simple act of saying goodnight to different parts of the self and the world, it provides a structured sensory path to sleep. The story follows a young child through their evening routine: from splashing in the tub to feeling the warmth of a parent's hug. Its rhythmic, poetic text acts as a lullaby, focusing on the joy of family and the quiet gratitude of a day well-spent. Ideal for children ages 1 to 4, it helps toddlers master the concept of 'becoming a big kid' by engaging in their own self-care and hygiene rituals with confidence and comfort.
