Overview

This is a wonderful bedtime story to soothe your child to sleep with, and it was written by a licensed mental health counselor.


From the Author

This book was Inspired by the many, MANY sleepless nights of first raising my twin girls, followed by my third daughter whom this book is dedicated to and who I still co-sleep with to this day. Always searching for a remedy...a way to shorten the bedtime routine...a way for my Camryn to fall asleep faster and deeper in my arms before gently laying her down in her bed and sneaking out on tippy toes...

I started resorting to my meditation skills as a therapist to help her relax. Every therapist has some version of a body scan in their toolbox, and I found adapting it in an age-appropriate way helped send her into dreamland faster.

Thus, the concept of this book was born. It is designed around the relaxation technique known as progressive muscle relaxation. Presented in a child friendly way, it guides the reader through a head to toe body scan while expressing gratitude for all the wonderful things our bodies can do.


The end goal is teaching a young child how to do a body scan themselves in an effort to self soothe and bring about calmness in the body.

Thanking our body parts and having gratitude for each one of them is not just for children! Mom and Dad should try laying in bed one night after their littles are asleep and scanning their body from head to toe in gratitude. The whole family can sleep better!

About the Author

Tammy Greene is a licensed mental health therapist and mother of three in the state of Massachusetts. She had a thriving private practice where she specialized in trauma and addiction recovery, up until becoming pregnant with her twin girls and suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, overlapping with the COVID pandemic. She temporarily closed her private practice and shifted to being a stay-at-home mom to her three girls, while still maintaining an online presence as an active therapist, working with just a handful of clients as time allowed. 

Becoming a mom reintroduced her to an old, neglected passion of hers; creative writing. As an aspiring author, watching her children grow up has provided infinite inspirations and a new discovery of enjoyment in writing children's books. 

This is Tammy Greene’s very first published installment. Keep an eye out for more, as other works are already in motion. Thank you for reading, and here's hoping for a good night's sleep!
