A Creative Collaboration
This is my first-ever children’s book. So, I teamed up with my fabulous friend Lesléa Newman, who also happens to be an award-winning author of dozens of children’s books, as well as books of poetry and fiction for adults. You can learn more about Lesléa at her website: https://lesleakids.com. Plus, you can read my interview with Lesléa and learn about her relationship to dreams here.
Excerpt
Some nights, you just don’t want to shut out the lights—or shut your eyes—at bedtime because there are still fun things to do. Or, you may be scared of the dark, or worried about having bad dreams. But you need sleep, even more than grown-ups do. And you need more of it! Luckily, you can get better at sleep, just as you can get better at throwing a ball or playing an instrument. It just takes practice.
Activities include:
- Make a Night Notebook
- Tuck Your Worries In at Night
- Watch the Stars Fall
- Climb Aboard a Sleep Adventure
- Sweet Dream Jar
- Be a Sleep Scientist
and more!
