My Goodnight Book
By Eloise Wilkin
The Story
A little girl moves through her nightly bedtime routine — washing up, putting on pajamas, saying goodnight to her toys — as the house settles into quiet before sleep.
Why It's Special
For the child who needs every step of the evening accounted for before their eyes will actually close, this book walks through the whole routine, in order, every time.
- Big idea: Bedtime isn't one big event — it's a string of small, familiar steps, and knowing what comes next is what makes it feel safe.
- Vibes: Soft, slow, and quiet — a wind-down book meant to be read at a whisper.
Perfect For Kids Who
- respond well to a predictable bedtime structure
- like to point at familiar objects like pajamas and toys
- are working on following a nightly routine without a fuss
- enjoy quiet, gentle bedtime pages
