It’s bedtime, and your little one wants just one more story. Now there’s one for every night of the year: one real animal, one gentle true fact, and one soft four-line lullaby, ready whenever the lights go down.
365 Bedtime Stories, Lullabies & Rhymes is now live on Apple Books, written by Dr. Rabea Hadi — a board-certified family physician who sees firsthand, in his own practice, how much children settle and sleep better with a calm, predictable routine. This book turns the last few minutes of the day into the easiest part of it.
What’s inside
- 365 short animal stories, one for every day of the calendar — start on January 1st or turn straight to tonight’s date
- A real animal fact in every story: a baby kangaroo is born about the size of a jellybean; sea otters hold paws so they don’t drift apart while they sleep; some dung beetles steer by the glow of the Milky Way
- A four-line lullaby after each story, written to be read slowly as the lights go down
- Hundreds of animals from every corner of the world — penguins, pandas, sloths, seahorses, owls, platypuses, and a few gentle giants from long ago
- Stories short enough to hold a toddler’s attention, and simple enough for new readers to try on their own
- A month-by-month contents page, so tonight’s story is always one tap away
- Real animal photographs throughout
- A bonus for the whole family: Choose Your Quest: The Dwarven Jester Spy, a laugh-out-loud interactive gamebook, included inside
