When Teddy cannot fall asleep, Benjamin's satchel opens a little too wide.
Soon they are racing across black-sand beaches, riding ferries, counting sheep, wandering through steaming forests, and watching stars glow deep underground.
With family, friendship, laughter, and a little New Zealand magic along the way, Teddy discovers that even the biggest adventures can lead you gently home.
A warm, whimsical bedtime journey through New Zealand's North Island.
About the AuthorAmanda Lucia Anseeuw Sadden writes gentle, imaginative stories for children and the grown-ups who read beside them.
With a BA in English, experience teaching children, and graduate study in family therapy, Amanda has always been drawn to the way stories help children feel connected to people, places, and the world around them.
Love You, New Zealand, North Island grew from her love of the little things that make the North Island unforgettable: harbour lights, black-sand beaches, pōhutukawa flowers, winding roads, sheep-dotted hills, steaming earth, towering forests, glowing caves, and quiet lakes.
Through Teddy and Benjamin's magical nighttime journey, Amanda wanted to create a bedtime story that feels adventurous, funny, comforting, and deeply connected to place. It is a celebration of friendship, family, imagination, and the way a place can become part of the stories a child carries home.
Amanda is a lifelong storyteller, wife, and mother who believes some of the best adventures begin with curiosity, a little courage, and someone you love beside you.
