“Going to Bed Is Easy Now is a brilliant synthesis of brain-based practices that both children and parents need for a smooth transition from a busy day to a peaceful sleeptime routine. Every mom and dad will appreciate how Manny Moose now thinks going to bed is easy. By using this beautiful book, they will soon see, “That’s my child, too!” I can’t wait to tell parents about the book, and I am eager to read the other books in the Easy Now series!”
“For years I have encouraged and assisted parents in using transitional bedtime charts during their evening-time routine. It is wonderful to finally have a book that supports the idea, and can be shared with children to explain the process in a fun way. Children will easily relate to Manny Moose and his struggles, and will be encouraged to read about Manny’s overcoming of his bedtime challenges. I am anxious for the next books in this series to be published. Not only are the topics useful for parents at home, but as a teacher, I would welcome these books in my weekly classroom meetings. There is nothing quite as effective as gaining better understanding through a book! It’s about time these common struggles were normalized in children’s literature!”
“The “Manny Moose” series is a gift to both children and parents! As a former special education and first grade teacher, I appreciate the power of picture books to nurture kids’ growth. We are wired to bond through stories. This wonderful book is like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold night — it’s comforting. More than that, though, it’s a practical resource to help all kids flourish in the middle of challenging situations, such as transitions. Add in the gorgeous illustrations, and you’ll find the “Easy Now” series taking root in your heart.”
