About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is resisting the transition to sleep or seems overwhelmed by the busy energy of the day. It is the perfect antidote to bedtime restlessness, offering a rhythmic and visually stunning journey that transforms a simple bedroom into a celestial seascape. The story follows a small boy in pajamas who sails away in a box of books, encountering a group of playful otters who have caught falling stars to use as night-lights. With its focus on wonder, imagination, and a gentle return to the safety of home, this book is ideal for toddlers and preschoolers aged 2 to 5. Parents will appreciate the lyrical prose and the way the narrative mirrors the descent into deep, peaceful sleep.

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and metaphorical. There are no sensitive topics such as death or trauma; the only potential tension is the brief distance from the parent during the dream sequence, which is resolved with a warm, hopeful, and realistic reunion.
