Some beds feel very big when the light goes out. Nell has a bed of her own. It stands in the corner, and tonight it looks far too wide for one small girl. So her mother gives her three things to keep in it - a kiss she can hold in her hand, a star that stays awake so Nell doesn't have to, and an invisible thread of gold that runs all the way down the hall. One tug, and someone always answers. A STORY, NOT A LECTURE
Forty pages of gentle, rhyming text built for the wobbly nights when a child would rather be anywhere than alone. The rhythm is slow on purpose. It is meant to be read in a quiet voice, with the lamp already low. THREE THINGS YOU CAN USE TONIGHT
The kiss, the star and the thread are not just story. They are a real bedtime ritual, explained for parents at the back of the book, and they work because a frightened toddler cannot summon an abstract idea of you - but they can squeeze a fist. FOR THE CHILD WHO KEEPS COMING BACK
Written for ages 2 to 5: the crib-to-bed transition, the child who starts the night in their room and finishes it in yours, the one who is not frightened of anything except the closed door. THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF
- Your toddler has just moved from a cot to a big kid bed
- Bedtime ends with a small visitor at your side of the mattress
- A new baby, a new house or a new room has unsettled the nights
- You have tried a nightlight and it was not the light they wanted
- You would like a calm ritual you can repeat, not a bedtime battle WHAT IS INSIDE
- A complete rhyming story with a beginning, a middle and a proud morning
- A Note for Grown-Ups explaining the ritual step by step
- Five short affirmations to say together at lights-out
- Large, calm, full-page illustrations in a square format made for laps
- Soft watercolour artwork throughout, warm enough for a dark room A closed door is not the fear. Being disconnected is. This book gives a child something to hold on to instead - and gives you something to say when you have run out of words at half past eight. A gentle gift for a third birthday, a new big-kid bedroom, a baby shower, or the nursery shelf. From The Brave Little Nights - quiet stories for children learning to sleep on their own. Goodnight, small one. Goodnight, small head.
