Good Night Giants cover

Falling asleep can be challenging for a lot of kids. Thankfully, Good Night Giants is here to help!

Playful and full of imagination, Good Night Giants invites kids to count giants as they drift off to slumber. cognitive behavioral methods are couched in a rhythmic, relaxing story and whimsical illustrations to help restless kids take control of their sleep.

THE GIANTS SONG
Wiggle out your energy to get ready to sleep.
Put happy thoughts in your head and peace in your feet,
Now, take a deep breath and blow out the air.
Float with its sound, but wait, you’re not there.


A Note to Parents provides additional strategies and insight.

"Avoiding the pedantic tone that can appear in books that explicitly address childhood anxieties, Janisch and Bansch tackle sleeplessness with bustling text and hoppy illustrations reminiscent of quirky European theater performance. At bedtime, when it's time to settle down and relax, a pajama-clad child doesn't count sheep, but giants instead—34 of them."—Publishers Weekly
