The Dreamiest of Bedtime Stories

Looking for the perfect bedtime story for when your little one is having bad dreams? Happy Dreams, Little Bunny by Leah Hong will help your little bunny drift off to a dreamland full of adventures.

When Little Bunny can’t sleep, Mother Bunny pulls them in close and asks gentle questions to change Little Bunny’s big thoughts into fun dreams perfect for leading to a great night sleep. 

Using your imagination is a fantastic strategy when your child is feeling worried or sad. It helps them to change their thoughts around so they can get rest and be ready for the next day. The Bee’s awesome teacher calls it their super flex brain, changing their perspective and using their inner coach. Happy Dreams, Little Bunny resonated with us as we use this strategy quite a bit, especially at preschool. It’s a lovely reminder that sometimes children can have big thoughts and inevitably those thoughts seem to arise right at bedtime. It’s a calm, cuddly story that can help settle everyone in for a rest. Hopefully the whole family will have sweet dreams after reading this dreamy story by Leah Hong.

Let’s talk about the illustrations a moment, simply gorgeous! The dreamy quality of Leah Hong’s work and the muted colour palette navigate readers to a cozy dreamy state to instantly help them slide off to sleep.
