Down The Sleepy River is a beautiful picture book which would be perfect for bedtime. This picture book focuses on saying goodnight to different animals and the illustrations of the creatures is beautifully done and detailed, showing for example the different habitats they live in. The words on each page have a rhythm and the repetition means a young child could join in with the story and feel like a reader.
The blurb mentions mindfulness. The use of calm colours for the illustrations as well as breathing techniques means this is a great introduction to mindfulness for younger children as well as getting children relaxed and ready for sleep.
My favourite thing about this picture book is although it is a simple idea, the focus on breathing. If you have a young child and would like to introduce them to mindfulness and help them get a good sleep, this might be the perfect book for you!
