This is an excellent short picture book with a small amount of words. It is marketed toward parents/caregivers for children and does so brilliantly, however I state as always picture books, children's books are for all ages.

Down by the sleep river is a book on mindfulness, it creates a great sense of calm while reading and is perfect for bedtime or naptime for anyone. It has a two page note for parent or caregiver or whomever is reading this which focuses on what mindfulness is and examples of ways this book could be experienced. I especially love the fact the author is trying to introduce mindfulness from such an early age. Mindfulness is such a brilliant coping strategy for all and allows us a sense of calm and to enjoy the world around us.
I practice mindfulness walks regularly and highly rate it. I do not have children but instead read this with my partner on an evening, I enjoyed the calm it brought in enjoying the illustrations and getting to practice mindful breaths and release some stressful work tensions.

This book has multiple animals through out that are wonderfully illustrated and each page says goodnight to these animals. I highly rate this book for anyone who wishes to read it.
