SLEEP TIGHT, LITTLE KNIGHT

With a padded cover and appealing watercolour and line art illustrations here is a special storybook to relax little children's minds and bodies and sooth their brain's chemical response to anxiety. When young children have bad dreams their whole routine and yours may become troubled. Resisting bedtime can be tricky and the book is designed to harness a child's imagination to work through a psychological grounding technique of being in the moment and understanding that they are safe. It encourages resilience and belief in their own strength to cope with bad dreams and by reading the book together your child will feel listened to and understood and safe and realise that you can resolve worries together. 'Little Knight, you are bold as the brave knights of old, but I have a secret for you. Though the stories don't tell, knights had bad dreams as well, and they couldn't sleep sometimes, too. Those knights, they were strong, they faced dragons all day long...' Pink, red, orange and blue, dragons peep out from behind trees and breath fire on the little male and female Knight characters, sometimes three or four to a page across starry skies and into the bedroom where there is the cat, the bookcase and comfy quilt. Count one, two, three sounds far and near. 'Or a place you can hide, and shut out the outside, with someone who loves you so much.' 26 pages, 20cm square, apologies for sticker, designed for ages 3-6 years.
