I am so pleased to kick off the blog tour for this charming and eloquent story. It’s perfect for winding down little ones’ active imaginations as they try to drift off to sleep.
With illustrations in a palette of blues and pastel colours, the entire book is soothing and and calming. It promotes a calming of the mind and an awareness of deeper breathing as a way of drifting to sleep.
Chandon has had a busy and fun day, full of excitement and adventure. As he winds down for bed, his mind continues to whirr and fizz with characters and scenarios and he has trouble falling asleep.
His mum places a toy boat on his tummy so he can watch the boat rise and fall as he breathes deeply. While his imagination continues to dream of new adventures, his body calms and prepares for a deep sleep.
Ideal for reading aloud and with instructions to make your own boat, this is the perfect book for bedtimes. I wish it had been around when my children refused to go to sleep or had trouble falling asleep!
