A Book of Sleep

A watchful owl stays awake through a moonlit night, observing how each animal settles down to sleep — some standing up, some on the move, some alone, some huddled close together.

For the little one who resists every bedtime, here's proof that sleep looks different for everyone — and it's still okay to drift off your own way.

• Big idea: There's no single right way to rest — every creature, like every child, settles down differently.
• Vibes: Quiet, starlit, and unhurried.

• respond well to a calm, predictable bedtime structure
• enjoy spotting different animals on each page
• are working on settling into their own sleep routine
• love quiet, slow-paced stories before lights out

• Story & observation: What did the owl notice about how the other animals sleep?
• Imagination: Which animal's way of sleeping — standing up, or huddled with friends — would you like to try?
• Real-life connection: How do you like to sleep — alone in your bed, or close to someone else?
• Feelings & empathy: Why do you think the owl stays awake while everyone else sleeps?
