From bedtime to circle time

Loved by little hearts
and the grown-ups who tuck them in

A wonderful collection of bedtime tales!

“I am happy to have stumbled upon this book. From “Pooshie and Kitty” we learn about friendship, patience, and mindfulness. Although written for children, there is much that these stories can teach adults about these virtues and how to focus our lives on things that seem small but are very important for our well-being and for society. Pooshie has the guilelessness of a child, and yet also the wisdom of Owl. The small gestures of companionship between Pooshie and Kitty show us how great friendship can be, even as their personalities are quite different. This is a wonderful book to teach children great virtues that they can build with as they grow into adults.”
