Through the protagonist, Stevie Tenderheart, readers embark on a journey of bedtime preparations filled with imagination and warmth.

As Stevie prepares for bedtime, his mind buzzes with various thoughts and desires, ranging from sports balls to silly animals and even a baby dinosaur, all of which he wishes to bring to bed with him.

Both of my grandsons have trouble falling asleep. FOMO. The Stevie Tenderheart books address this issue. Like Stevie, my grandsons' minds are buzzing with activities they still want to do. By reading this book that if full of activities they will be doing these activities in their imaginations and this will allow them to wind down. I will purchase a copy of this book for my grandsons. :techie-studyinggray:

Hi Cristiano, I'm not a parent and don't see 'bedtime stories' anywhere in my near future, lol. This does sound like the perfect book to help restless kids get to sleep, I can definitely see its appeal. Thanks for the awesome review.

Hi Stephen! Thank you for your comment. It is a magical moment with kids. I find these books great for adults too. They help me to slow down and see the world with different eyes. :)

The cover of the book confused me a bit: both because I could not immediately see the full picture, and I tried to figure out how it fit in with the story. It sounds like a wonderful children's story though. I would love to get my hands on one for my daughter.

Thanks for your comment. I am getting addicted to Stevie Tenderheart books. I read 3 of them and I liked them all. They teach nice approaches to kids. I like to discuss them with my son. I am sure it would be the same for you and your daughter.
