We Are Launching the Third installment of the Where I Go When I Sleep books!
Three years ago I launched the Book ”Where I Go When I Sleep” which explored the idea of using imagination to help children fall asleep. I have three children, and all three of them, at different times and in different ways, have experienced difficulties in facing bedtime or falling asleep. Each year, as my children grow, I have written and illustrated a bedtime book which matches their comprehension and maturity.
These books are designed to grow and mature with children, so that at each stage they can have the perfect bedtime book! This year, I am releasing the third book: ”Bedtime is my Favourite”.
Bedtime Is My Favourite | Vol 3
This Third installment of the Where I Go When I Sleep books enters the world of a 4-year-old girl who struggles with bedtime because of how hard it is to fall asleep and stay in her bed. Her older siblings work together to help her engage her senses in sleepy things and make bedtime something that she can look forward to. I love this idea because it helps my extremely sensory-conscious child focus on rest, while also encouraging her siblings to understand her. This book is perfect for any child who is reaching a stage of frustration at bedtime because of his or her wildly active mind!
The Books
There are various packages you can purchase, whether you want just the new release, or a set of all three books. There are both paperback and hardbound books, giving you a variety of options.
The First book in the series, dedicated to my daughter Isa, is aimed at the youngest audience; children whose minds are first connecting with stories and comprehending their dreams. It tells a story of a girl who travels to beautiful places in her dreams and falls in love with adventure during the night.
The Second Book, ”I’m The Boss In My Own Bed”, dedicated to my son Whitley, tells a story through rhyme for children who are beginning to learn to read letters and words. The concept of the book is to empower children at bedtime through self-responsibility and ownership in their own space. It teaches children that their bed is a safe place, promoting rest and contentment.
Personalized Artwork
Perhaps one of the most successful parts of my kickstarters for these books has been the personalized artwork. You can make the books an even greater gift by including a piece of artwork of your beloved child in the same style you see in the book. By sending me a picture of your child (or anyone!), I will hand-draw and color a portrait, and send it along with the book in the form of a high quality print. This is your chance to receive a high-quality commission at an affordable price!
You can sign up for one of these artworks by choosing either the DELUX or PREMIUM package.
What is left to be done?
The Third book has been sent in for print, and everything will soon be ready to send out! There are only 20 days for this kickstarter, so if you want to hop on board, now is the time!
Risks and challenges could include: If there are a high volume of orders for custom artwork, it could take a month or so extra for you to receive yours. If you are out of country, it could take time for your package to arrive. Thankfully, the books have already been sent in for printing, and so there isn’t any risk of this project not being completed!
