Breathe in. Breathe out. Let go of the day and take a calming journey down the river before bed.

Down the Sleepy River is a beautiful bedtime story with a focus on mindfulness. It encourages children and parents to take a few breaths together and spend precious time together absorbing the lovely story and enjoying the illustrations.

As we journey down the river we come across different animals all winding down and getting ready for bed. It features many of my son’s favourite animals such as the Lion resting on the mountain top and Elephant taking an evening bath in the river.

With the gorgeous illustrations in warming hues and the relaxed, slow paced story by the end my son was calm, happy and ready for cuddles and sleep. I found myself feeling more relaxed and present too. It's so important to practice mindfulness and appreciate everything around us.
