Some nights, they just will not settle.

You read the story. You turned off the light. Ten minutes later, a small voice asks for water.

Luma and Kuma know that feeling. She is a panther cub who wants the day to last forever. He is a small chameleon who is not quite ready to close his eyes. When Pillow Owl finds them both wide awake, she does not tell them to go to sleep. She shows them a path through the glowing jungle instead.

Along the way, your child does four simple things:

• Stretch like a sleepy sloth, so the day falls out of small shoulders.
• Breathe like a dolphin, slow in and slow out, until the body catches up with the night.
• Yawn like a buffalo, the big noisy yawn that makes everyone laugh, and then go quiet.
• Whisper a wish to a dreamy dragon, the last soft thought before sleep.

It is a story your child will ask for again. It is also a routine that works, because it is the same four steps, in the same order, every night, until a small body learns what comes next.

Inside this book:

• A complete wind down in four gentle steps, built to be repeated
• Full page illustrations in soft, sleepy colors
• Quiet guidance for the grown up reading along, so you know what to do
• Written for ages 3 to 7, and for the parent who is tired too

Some nights are easy. Some nights take a little more. Either way, this is a path to a smoother goodnight.
