Edwin the Elephant’s First Night Alone
Amanda Boyd
A children’s book for kids (and their parents) to help ease the adjustment from co-sleeping to sleeping independently and comfortably in their own bed. Edwin loves sleeping with his parents but as he’s gotten older it seems like the bed has gotten smaller. Everyone is ready for a better night’s sleep. Edwin’s parents are confident that Edwin is ready to transition to his room, but Edwin isn’t so sure, so they ease him into his own room one step at a time. Once he learns the joy of sleeping alone, he doesn’t want to go back. The book is meant to be educational and fun for kids and parents alike. Bonus page just for parents with practical advice on transitioning from co-sleeping from a seasoned nanny & certified parent coach!
