About This Book
For parents seeking to establish a calm, predictable bedtime routine, this book provides a perfect script. When a toddler begins resisting bedtime or feeling anxious about separation, this book can transform the process into a comforting ritual. 'Night-Night' follows a young child through the simple, loving steps of getting ready for bed: putting away toys, getting a bath, and saying goodnight to everything from the family pet to the moon outside. Its gentle, repetitive nature reinforces the routine, making it feel safe and secure. The durable board book format and simple illustrations are ideal for tiny hands and developing minds, making it a wonderful first bedtime story.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on the universal experience of a child's bedtime routine. Its approach is gentle and direct, with a completely positive and reassuring resolution.
Ideal Reader
A toddler, aged 1 to 3, who is just learning about routines or who is experiencing mild separation anxiety at bedtime. It is perfect for a child who thrives on predictability and needs a clear, comforting ritual to feel secure enough to fall asleep.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book's strength is its simplicity and it can be read cold. A parent might choose to pause on each page and help their child say "night-night" to similar items in their own room to personalize the experience. The parent is struggling to implement a consistent bedtime routine. Their toddler has started to protest going to bed, calling out after being tucked in, or showing signs of anxiety when the lights are turned off. The parent wants a tool to frame the routine as a positive, loving experience rather than a nightly struggle.
