Spirits At Night: Bedtime Poems for Children
ISBN-13-978-0692798188
​
What if there was a way to prepare your young child for success in life while forging deep meaningful bonds? There is and it comes from a time honored tradition… bedtime reading. From the earliest ages, even the womb, evidence shows that children benefit socially and intellectually from being read to nightly. Poetry in particular can be very beneficial. The short readings filled with rhythm and rhyme do not take long and, yet are very engaging. Subtly spiritual and wholly magical, Spirits At Night captures the imagination and transforms the night into a time of wonder. Here is a collection of poetry perfectly suited to make the bedtime ritual a warm, loving transition into sleep time. And a catalyst for treasured memories for child and caregiver to last a lifetime. Each poem is accompanied by a short informative "factoid" adding an informative element to the reading experience. Did you know the adult Luna moth has no mouth?
