Every parent can relate to the struggle that happens with their child when it’s time to get ready for bed. Children might be afraid of the dark, nervous about nightmares, or just not ready to stop having fun!
I Love You Baby
, Megan C. Slagle’s bedtime lullaby and picture book, makes bedtime easier for parents and children by transforming it into a precious opportunity to bond. Inspired by experiences with her own daughter, Slagle spins a soothing tale of a child who resists sleep and an understanding mother who helps her daughter overcome her reluctance. The story gently models why children should listen to their parents while exemplifying patience with children at bedtime.
With its inviting illustrations and singsong rhymes, this book serves as a song to help children go to sleep at night—but it also handles the difficulty of bedtime with emotional intelligence, lending it an even greater power to calm and comfort.
