About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is lingering at the edge of sleep, needing just one more reassurance of your presence. It is a gentle, rhythmic story for toddlers and preschoolers who crave the emotional security of a final physical connection before the lights go out. The story follows Sam, a small bear who has been through every step of the bedtime routine: the story, the milk, the blankets. Yet, something is missing. His mother patiently works through his cues until she realizes he simply needs his good-night kiss. It is a perfect choice for modeling patience and normalizing the common 'stall tactics' children use to stay close to their caregivers just a little bit longer.
