About this book

High in the velvet night sky, all the little stars are falling asleep, all except one. Stella is wide awake, her light twinkling far too fast for sleep.

So she watches the whole world drift off to bed: the rabbits in their burrow, the ducklings on the pond, the old dog by the fire, until the gentle Moon shows her how to slow down, breathe, and finally close her eyes.

A soothing, cumulative bedtime story with soft watercolour art on every page, written to help little ones drift off rather than wake them up. Read it slowly and let the repeating goodnights do the work.

Who it is for

Children aged 3 to 8 who take a while to wind down. A cumulative read-aloud that gets slower and softer as it goes, so the last page lands on a yawn.
