Barnaby Bright and the Night Wobble

A gentle picture book that helps children take the big, brave step of falling asleep all on their own.

Tonight's the night — Barnaby Bright gets to fall asleep all by himself for the very first time.

Dad tucks him in, sings the goodnight song, and clicks off the big light. The door clicks shut. Footsteps fade down the hall. And then... nothing. Just Barnaby, all alone.

Then the Wobble appears.

This time, it is soft blue and a little droopy, wrapping itself all the way around him.

Barnaby Bright and the Night Wobble is a warm, reassuring story that helps young children understand that missing someone at bedtime is completely normal — and that they're never really alone, even in a quiet room.

As Barnaby learns to name his feeling, take a deep breath, and discover a simple connection ritual with Dad, children build the confidence to fall asleep independently, one small brave step at a time.
