About This Book
Reach for this book when the transition from high-energy outdoor play to the quiet of bedtime feels like a hurdle for your spirited child. It offers a rhythmic, poetic bridge that validates their need for movement and wildness while gently guiding them toward rest. Through the story of three sisters, the book celebrates the way imagination can transform a familiar backyard into a world of wonder. As the girls pretend to be different animals in their garden, the lush acrylic and pastel illustrations mirror their internal shifts from activity to calm. It is a beautiful choice for children aged 3 to 6 who find comfort in nature and sensory play. Parents will appreciate how the text models a healthy, imaginative wind-down routine that doesn't feel like a chore, but rather a final, magical adventure before sleep.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics

Ideal Reader
A preschooler or kindergartner who is highly sensitive to their environment and has a rich inner life. This is especially effective for the child who resists bedtime because they feel like they are 'missing out' on the world. It shows them that the night is a place of soft beauty, not something to fear or avoid.
