... Yuka reflects on the day, says words of affirmation, and gets ready for bed. The process of going to sleep and preparing for the realm of dreams is a poetic routine ... This is Shungi Ono's very first book. The way it came to be is that Shungi's inner-child resisted going to sleep early and needed inspiration to get into bed. Late late laaaate one night, the muses whispered out a short haiku, then it evolved into a poem, the illustrations came after, then the format took shape, and here we are - a concept and a series was born. This is a rhyming book for toddlers, seniors and everyone in between looking to down-regulate their nervous system before going to sleep. This new series invites the reader(s) to reflect on their day, wonder, and set the intention for beautiful dreams. The white borders create a safe zone for those vulnerable to over stimulation, dealing with Sensory Integration Disorder, ADD, ADHD, autism, and other traits of amazing, highly sensitive souls. These books are meant to be soothing, calming, and inspiring anyone interacting with them to reconnect with the endless beauty and intelligence that is the nature on this planet. These books are designed to be aesthetically pleasing, even if laying on the floor: Let's make a pretty mess ... More about how to use the books in this series as a therapeutic tool here.
