Author Interview:
Q. Why did you write the Sleep Sweet Series?
As a teacher, I liked the idea of simple, fun stories that could engage readers from babies right up to adults.
As an aunty, I liked the idea of easy, short reads to create a positive bedtime tone.
As a friend and daughter, I loved the idea of books with symbolic messages that could suit as gifts to express gratitude or hope and support for others.
And lastly, as a person who ranges from over-the-top stressed about the state of the world, to way too daydreamy to even see all the problems … I needed a way to highlight all of the joy that gets us through.
