Dolphins: Riding the Waves
From Josh Fleishman, creator of The Bedtime Scientist podcast-"Where Mr. Rogers and Carl Sagan Meet"-comes a beautifully illustrated, sensory-friendly journey designed to help busy minds settle down for rest.
"I like your mind... just the way it wonders."
Dolphins: Riding the Waves is a gentle, non-fiction bedtime story that invites children to slow down and explore the fascinating world of dolphins. Through soothing, rhythmic language and stunning imagery, young readers are introduced to:
The Science of Connection: Learn how dolphins use unique whistles to name themselves and stay connected with their pod, even over twenty years apart.
The Wonder of Intelligence: Explore how dolphins play for the pure joy of it, recognize themselves in reflections, and navigate the dark ocean using sound.
The Rhythm of Rest: Discover the remarkable way dolphins sleep by resting only half of their brain at a time, holding each other up through the night.
Why The Bedtime Scientist? This book is built on the belief that a child's nervous system needs cues of safety and trust to truly unwind. Unlike stories that rely on jarring surprises, this documentary-style journey replaces stimulation with a calm, predictable rhythm.
At the end of the story, a special "Science Behind the Calm" section helps children transition to sleep by connecting the dolphins' need for trust to their own sense of safety, using the gentle, invisible force of gravity to help them let go and drift off.
Perfect for any child who needs a quiet, trustworthy corner of the world to settle down, this book is an invitation to "Learn Softly & Sleep Soundly".
Based on the popular Bedtime Scientist Podcast: "Dolphins: Riding the Waves."
