So You Say You Can’t Sleep…

(24 customer reviews)

$14.95

SO, you’ve got a little one that just “can’t sleep.” They’ve gotten their water, back rubs/tickles, two or more stories, a song (or three) and still they’re peering at the light in the hall like they’re missing out on some big party. In reality we parents/caretakers are just folding laundry, breathing deeply, and catching up on something other than cartoons. What they’re really missing out on is the incredible world they can create in their dreams! This book illustrates just a few of those imaginative places and reminds them that the real adventures are “right behind the sleep they want to fight.”

Description

This book started as a simple lullaby. I would sing it to my firstborn while still pregnant and already very aware of the restlessness my little one would endure. It didn’t take long to turn it into the perfect nighttime book, but it sat unpublished and unillustrated for almost a decade! I’m so excited I finally get to share this with fellow parents and all those little ones who just can’t (won’t) sleep. I hope this book becomes a treasured part of your nightly routine and more importantly, I hope it helps!

    My grandchildren were captivated by the pictures and I couldn’t turn the page before they made me tell them what each little thing was and why it was there. Fortunately the pages are sturdy as they kept yanking the page back to ask me something else about what they saw. The animation was a perfect complement to the heartfelt encouragement the words provided the reader. It was a gift really worth the money.

    Beautifully written and illustrated story focusing on a subject that all children experience…missing out on family fun. It’s a fun story that all littles can relate to. My grandkids flipped through the pages several times and because it’s a board board it’s indestructible!
