“Breathe in deep… let your breath travel down to your toes, then back out from your toes to your head. Can you feel the covers on top of you, and the softness of your bed?” —An excerpt from One More Book Before Bed
Think of this not as a book but as a guide for connecting with a little one as they recap their day. Open the pages to find ways to start bedtime conversations to help children cozy up, settle down, and unwind before falling asleep. Inspired by somatic practice, the rhythmic words are here to help parents and caregivers create a safe space for kids to explore emotions, quiet the mind, and get ready for resting.
The gentle rhymes invite a child to process, reflect, and share any worries.
Simple mindfulness exercises and interactive questions help children relax their body, quiet the mind, and get ready for resting.
The soothing words and dreamy illustrations help children feel secure before they’re loved one tucks them in to bed.
