Reach for this book when your toddler expresses anxiety about the dark or asks persistent questions about what happens after you close the bedroom door. It is the perfect antidote for the 'fear of missing out' that often fuels bedtime resistance. By transforming the quiet night into a busy workshop of magical helpers, the story replaces the mystery of the dark with a sense of whimsical security. The narrative uses lyrical prose and stunning collage art to show that the world is being cared for while the child rests. From the wind polishing the moon to the clouds being fluffed like pillows, the book reframes sleep as a time of preparation and wonder. It is ideal for children ages 2 to 5 who need to feel that the night is a friendly, active place where they are safe and loved even when they are dreaming.
