Cover of Tuck Puts the Night-Light to Bed: a hedgehog in blue pajamas hugs a smiling moon-shaped night-light in a bed floating on clouds.

One more pat. One more song. One more story.

So Tuck does what Mama always does: a goodnight pat, a sleepy song, one more story. But Moonie has a few bedtime tricks of her own.

Every grown-up who has ever said "okay, the last one" will recognise the plot. Every small person who is a little scared of the dark will recognise Tuck.

"Bedtime can feel hard. We'll do it together."A gentle refrain to read together, out loud.

Also from Nap Yarn: handmade crochet

Before the books, there was yarn. Small calm things, crocheted by hand in Burnaby, BC, one slow stitch at a time. Bookmarks, tiny cats, little flowers, and the occasional trial that did not survive. Coming soon: a free pattern to crochet your own tiny Moonie.
