Goodnight Sunshine is a bedtime storybook written and illustrated by Rebecca Porter. It narrates the story of the sun as it prepares to sleep after a long day. Just like our little ones, the sun slowly drifts into slumber with the knowledge that new adventures await ahead. By getting enough rest, the sun will have sufficient energy and time to play and shine the next day. Even as night falls, the sun is comforted by the fact that the moon and stars will watch over the night. Similar to the sun in this story, your children will have sweet dreams and realize that bedtime is not as bad as it seems. Tomorrow, the sun will rise again, and have more fun.
Goodnight Sunshine is a delightful storybook with a unique plot and engaging activities. A tale about a sleepy sun receiving comforting words is perfect for lulling your toddlers into a peaceful slumber. Rebecca Porter uses soothing words to narrate the story, which makes it ideal for a bedtime book. She has included an activity section where children can personalize the book by adding their pictures, information, footprints, and handprints. I particularly loved this feature as it makes the book more interactive and engaging. The beautiful illustrations are my favorite aspect of the book. They perfectly correspond with the story, depicting the sun gradually falling asleep against a backdrop of a starry night and clouds, creating a magical atmosphere. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a calming bedtime storybook for their children.
