Down the Sleepy River by Emma Drage and Carmen Saldana is a wonderfully illustrated book which goes through a mindful sleep time routine without the child even being aware - magic!
The way it is written and the directions given to the child are carefully throughout out and beautifully presented to encourage children into calming down and getting ready for bed.
The illustrations are just amazing - for me these really make the book. You can talk with your child about what is in the pictures for ages and can stretch their imagination discussing the what may be happening in the pictures or what may be going to happen next or what they may be wanting to happen next or something they are wanting to know or ask about.
This is a really lovely book and have already been recommending it to my friends with children. It is definitely one I think parents will be singing it’s praises.
