“Sagan just didn’t
want to go to bed…
There were things to do
and adventure to spread.”

Children’s Book: Relax Your Toes uses therapeutic text and images to help children sleep.

Author and certified hypnotherapist, Tara Platt, known for her world-building, storytelling, and acting – on screen, stage, in print, on line, and with her voice – has created an adorable children’s bedtime story, Relax Your Toes. The book is currently sold online and in a few select shops.

Told in rhyme, the story helps kids get comfy and relaxed at bedtime. It spins a tale about a child who doesn’t want to go to bed, but who falls asleep after being gently taken through the steps of relaxation, an age-old therapeutic tool – from toes to head.

The book’s gorgeous illustrations by Italian artist Francesca Baerald contribute so much to the charm of this delightful tale. Relax Your Toes was printed in the United States at Thomson-Shore in Dexter, MI, and published by Bug Bot Press.

Not only is the book itself beautiful and engaging, but supplemental online audio versions are available to all purchasers. Calling on their voice acting skills, Tara and her husband, Yuri Lowenthal, have each recorded this book as a free supplement to the hard copy.

An audio version of progressive relaxation for adults is also included on line as an additional bonus feature. The link is included in the book.
