Down The Sleepy River is a children’s picture book designed to be read to children at bedtime to promote mindfulness techniques.
Beautifully illustrated, each double page depicts a different creature as they unwind and settle down for the evening and experience the moment around them.
The repetition on every page of “Breathe In, Breathe out” is wonderfully calming and will promote a sense of relaxation as your child gets ready to sleep.
The illustrations pushed this book just into 5 stars. I found that there isn’t a strong sense of rhyme or rhythm which would make this book more memorable if re-read every night. I’m also not a huge fan of the positioning and font of the text for bedtime reading but that is probably personal taste!
I’m sure this could quickly become a treasured part of the bedtime routine and would make a lovely gift.
