All around the world, when the moon is shining bright.
Parents give their children a little kiss goodnight.

This bedtime story celebrates the beautiful moment when a young child is being kissed goodnight. It captures the unconditional love between parent and child, all over the world. From one generation to the next.

Young children will love the repetition of rhythmic, rhyming words and want to hear it over and over again.

Written, illustrated and published by two fathers, who love to give their kids a little kiss goodnight.

"The illustrations are wonderfully whimsical, and have that... joy you expect in a children's book such as this."
Phoenix book editing

Some children will be crying, some are snuggled up tight.
They all are looking forward, to a little kiss goodnight.

Some children sleep in busy cities…
Some in hills high or valleys down low…

Some sleep near sunny sand…
Some sleep near icy snow.

And all of those children, to everyone’s delight.
Will get from their parents, a little kiss goodnight!

Some children feel tired, eyes heavy as stones.
Some will be restless, with an itch in their bones.

Some children resist, they don’t want to let go.
Some laugh and giggle, and go with the flow.

What they all have in common, if it’s wrong or if it’s right.
They love their parents, to give a little kiss goodnight.

But you are my treasure, you’re mine in every way.
I will kiss you goodnight as long as I may.

Cause time keeps on flying and you’ll be grown soon.
Until the day comes, that you look up to the moon.

When you hold your baby, and stars are shining bright.
You’ll remember I was always there…

…to give a little kiss goodnight.

My latest self-published book.
Something else this time; a bedtime story for the very young in rhyme!

beautiful story

This book is easy to read and soothing for my children. They very much enjoy listening to me read this to them at bedtime. I nearly put them to sleep each and every times
