  Bedtime routine finally fixed

  My daughter doesn't like admitting she's tired, which made bedtime a negotiation every night. Seeing herself as the last one awake, going on a whole adventure nobody else sees, she's decided that's a good thing. We're done negotiating.

• 

  He noticed his freckles

  There's a specific cluster of freckles on my son's nose. They're on every spread. He studied the first page for a long time, then looked up and said "they got me right." He's five.

• 

  It's been on three sleepovers

  She packed it for every sleepover since. She introduced it to her cousin. The cousin wants one now.

• 

  She says goodnight to the animals now

  Every night after the last page she names the animals from the story and says goodnight to each one. We didn't teach her this. She just started.

• 

  She says 'I'm the last one awake' at every bedtime

  It's a thing. She says it like it's a title she's earned. We say it back. The whole family says it now. A picture book rewrote our bedtime vocabulary and I think that's extraordinary.

• The nighttime illustrations are genuinely beautiful

  I sit with her when we read it not just to be there but because I actually want to see the next spread. The art is warm and careful in a way I did not expect from a personalized book.

• He asked if there would be a second one

  He finished it and asked what happens next. I said that's the end. He said "but what does he do next Tuesday?" I did not have an answer. He has accepted the mystery.

• She brought it to the hospital

  We were in the hospital for two nights with her little brother, and she packed this in her overnight bag. She read it to him in the crib. The nurses asked about it. I told them where to get it.

• Worth every dollar for what it did at bedtime

  I was skeptical at the price. Then I had three nights in a row with no resistance and no tears and I stopped being skeptical. It paid for itself before the end of the first week.

• The quality held up for a boy of five

  Three months of nightly use and the book looks almost new. He is not gentle. The binding and pages have held up completely. That matters as much to me as the art.
