      Why I’m excited to win this giveaway is to share it with six little ones that are aged five and younger that are being brought up as Christians and who sometimes need a way to calm down to go to sleep. Books read to them like this right before bed just might help.

      1. Eat dinner while talking about the day and plans for the next day
      2. Bathe

      4. Pajamas and jump in the bed
      5. Read like 5 bedtime books
      Then it’s hugs and kisses
      Lights out!

      I love books and love to gift books. My niece has a couple of little foster children. I think they would enjoy these.

      The girls always want to stay up for “10 more minutes”. I think they would enjoy these books and it would help them to wind down a bit easier.

      My kids will not sleep without sleep sounds at night. They prefer rain and snow…it really aid in their sleeping all night. Youtube and Prime Video have a good selection of sleep sounds.

      I have a six month old granddaughter that lives with me. I sing her old Beatle songs as lullabies, and she loves them. Her favorites are I Will, Her Majesty, Here Comes the Sun, and If I Fell….what can I say, the kids got great taste in music! 🙂
