Thank you readers first for the chance to share down the sleepy river with my little girl before publication.
This doesn’t look (or claim) to be a miracle solver for bed time issues. My daughter has had problems getting to sleep for two years and whilst I wasn’t expecting her to fall asleep within minutes, I was looking forward to giving this book a go.
There are a couple of pages at the start explaining mindfulness in a simple way- brilliant! The pictures are truly beautiful, with calming shades of orange, purple, green & blue. Every other page contains simple yet descriptive examples of different animals settling down for the night. Then each second page encourages your child to take a deep breath in then out, encouraging them to calm down ready for bedtime.
After over two years of two hour bed time problems I’d have brought this book had I not been lucky enough to win a copy and will read it to my child regularly - even if it shaves 15 minutes off that time it’ll be the best book ever!
