For Parents

One feeling. One gentle method. One calmer bedtime.

Every Lumo Bedtime Book gives children one big feeling and one simple, repeatable way through it — woven into a warm, magical story instead of a lesson. This one is about making friends.

The book closes with A Note for Grown-Ups: a short, practical page with the routine from the story and word-for-word phrases to try at bedtime.
