    Multi-Platinum, three-time Grammy® Award winning artist Michael W. Smith launches Nurturing Steps™, a new infant and toddler series.

    Reading books is always the final step in our kiddo’s bedtime routine. It’s such a great tool for, not only winding down and relaxing, but connecting and ending the day on a positive note. And when that note can be a musical note, that just adds another way to make this daily ritual of bonding and melting into a soft pillow that much more special.

    Enter for a chance to win a Nurturing Steps™ prize pack from Zonderkidz.

    One (1) winner receives:

    • A copy of Nighty Night and Good Night (In Stores Now)
    • A copy of Let’s Get Ready for Bed (In Stores Now)
    • Michael W. Smith’s accompanying Lullaby album
    • A pair of sleepy slippers for your little reader!

    Giveaway begins November 12, 2018, at 12:01 A.M. PST and ends December 12, 2018, at 11:59 P.M. PST.

      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.
