Before You Close Your Eyes

Before you close your eyes tonight
and drift off into sleep,
there are some things that you should know –
some thoughts for you to keep …

With its gentle lullaby-like text and warm, comforting art, Before You Close Your Eyes encourages children to reflect on their day, be proud of what they've achieved and let go of the things they can't control as they head off to sleep.
