Perfect for toddlers and reluctant sleepers, this gentle and humorous bedtime story has a calming message of mindfulness and centeredness that’s beautifully complemented by gorgeous watercolor, acrylic ink, and pencil art from award-winning author-illustrator Catherine Rayner. Bryon’s text and Adeola’s pictures work well together to capture the fizzing energy of young children and, as Rocket sets about sorting the plastic pollution she encounters on Grampy’s beach, there’s also a positive environmental message.

Rayner’s soothing language effectively sets the stage for addressing a frequent childhood problem… The lullaby portion of the story appears in wavy lines, emphasizing its lyric qualities. But if this were an end-of-term report, it would have to say “must try harder”, judging by conversations emerging from this summer’s Black Lives Matter protests. A beautiful, meditative bedtime book about a lion who can’t sleep—until a friend offers sage advice.
