About This Book
In this gentle picture book, Sam the bear experiences a familiar bedtime ritual, complete with a story, being tucked in, and warm milk. Despite these comforting steps, he still feels a lingering need for something more before he can truly settle down for the night. It's his mother's final, loving goodnight kiss that provides the ultimate reassurance and allows him to drift off to sleep. This story beautifully illustrates the profound importance of parental affection and the power of a simple, loving gesture in a child's routine. Ideal for children aged 3-7, it normalizes the need for comfort and connection at bedtime.
