Goodnight, My Own Bed: A Gentle Bedtime Story for Toddlers Learning to Sleep in Their Room

Some beds feel very big when the light goes out. Nell has a bed of her own. It stands in the corner, and tonight it looks far too wide for one small girl. So her mother gives her three things to keep in it - a kiss she can hold in her hand, a star that stays awake so Nell doesn't have to, and an invisible thread of gold that runs all the way down the hall. One tug, and someone always answers.
