Winner of the International Best Indie Book Award for children's books, this interactive bedtime parent support "system" is winning approval from kids and parents alike. Though some aspects of the book might be more appreciated by kids aged 4 through 8, clearly it has something for "kids from 4 to 94!"  

This delightfully illustrated keepsake coloring book tells the story of a curious Sunbeam following his dream of going to town. Riding a radiant river he discovers the "little things" who help him learn what it means to be a "True Sunbeam." This original poem and story by Mark Olmstead is a support system to both kids and adults - helping develop resilience in gratefully following our dreams while learning to persevere and shine our brightest light in the world.

 

Special Keepsake Features Include:

• An Artist and Date line on every page allows the most important people in a child's life to contribute to their keepsake, so the child always has real evidence of the love for them they can physically touch at any time.  Having family members color, sign and date a page, the bedtime story can essentially be "told" by the whole family! ... and no matter where that grandparent, loved one, special person, or family member may be,  their love continues to communicate to the child from the page! 

• Shining Moments pages: After the story, parents are reminded to ask the most important question of the day, which is... "What was your brightest shining moment today?" This practice not only improves the quality of a child's dreams, but over time, writing them down strengthens self-esteem and confidence by creating a record of these moments and experiences... In today's challenging world, this evidence of the child "at their best" plays an important role in developing resilience and an easy access reminder of who they REALLY are.

• The Shining Moments prompting questions helps direct their focus to what matters most to create a positive attitude, develop problem-solving skills and find more shining moments to be grateful for.

The best time to develop a child's life affirming gratitude practice is while the subconscious mind is still in formation before the age of seven.

While practicing connecting  with their brightest shining moments, kids get clarity about their true interests. resilience in following dreams, and gratitude for the journey.
