Sammy Jo, the protagonist in the book, TEN SHEEP TO SLEEP, had a HUGE problem of her own. She counted ten sheep to sleep every night, but suddenly, ten extra sheep appeared. And did they make her night miserable! She focused on the problem and thought of some brilliant solutions. Unfortunately, none of them worked! She finally decided to relax.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
And that’s when the most brilliant solution of all came to her!
Sometimes we just need to relax, and let go. We need to find ways to loosen up and unwind – modalities that suit us and our personality. Some people focus on their breathing, some jog, some boogie to music, and some find joy in just acting silly.
What do you do to relax?
I hope you and your kids enjoy reading TEN SHEEP TO SLEEP as much as I enjoyed writing it. Oh! And Yes! There’s a little math lesson in the book for your lil’ ones. You’re welcome.
