Kids will definitely enjoy the fantasy of the main character being shrunk down by a firefly. I am also sure that this book will make a good bedtime story for kids. Congratulations on BOTD.

The idea of there always being better things to do instead of sleeping is one that I could always heavily relate to as a kid. This sounds like a wonderful journey for little kids to read about before going to bed!

This book is about how a young boy named Ryan always has trouble sleeping because there are always better things he could be doing, but whenever he tries to sleep, a firefly flies into his room and shrinks him to a tiny size. I like how simple this book is and how helpful it will be for children struggling to sleep. Nice review.

I am a fan of kiddie picture books, so I would like to see how Ryan benefits from the firefly visit. How would the bright insect convince him to sleep on time? However, I think gadgets are the primary reasons why kids stay up.

I guess every kid Ryan's age feels like they can do without sleep 😊. This sounds like an excellent and fun book for young children and I'm sure they will really enjoy it. The magic is palpable! Very insightful review, thanks.
