“Visually stunning, thoughtful and calming bedtime tale featuring tried-and-tested mindfulness techniques… The perfect way to ease little ones into the land of sleep” – Lancashire Evening Post

A visually stunning, thoughtful and calming bedtime tale, featuring tried-and-tested mindfulness techniques.

“Watch the boat, Chandan, it floats on the ocean. It rises and falls with your breath’s gentle motion.”

Chandan has had an exciting day out with his mum – but now it’s time for bed, and however hard he tries, he just can’t sleep.

Luckily, his mum has some calming mindfulness techniques at her fingertips. The bedtime boat sits on Chandan’s tummy, rising and falling with his breath. As he travels on a voyage of imagination over the seas, the bedtime boat is always there to keep him grounded, and soon gently lulls him into a relaxed and peaceful sleep.

With stunning illustrations by award-winning illustrator Anastasia Suvorova, this lyrical rhyming picture book is the perfect way to help restless little ones drift off to sleep.

Bring the bedtime boat to life with the origami boat instructions inside the book.
