Goodnight, Back-to-School: Calm Back-to-School Jitters with a Cozy Bedtime Read-Aloud (Ages 2–6) (Goodnight My Holiday Friends)

By Sophia Tales

Turn school-night jitters into sleepy smiles. Guided by a friendly Owl, Goodnight, Back-to-School is a gentle bedtime picture book that helps toddlers and preschoolers settle down before a big day. Short, soothing lines and playful sound words-zip-zip, tap-tap, hum-hum-lead little readers through an easy routine: pack the backpack, lay out clothes, brush and swish, breathe like a bumblebee, hum a soft lullaby, and drift off.

Perfect for the first day of school, preschool, or kindergarten, this not-rowdy read-aloud builds confidence and calm with every page turn. The rhythm slows page by page, and a repeatable goodnight refrain cues sleep-making it a go-to choice for caregivers, teachers, and librarians.

Inside you'll find:

A cozy school-night routine that's simple and repeatable

Onomatopoeia & tiny actions (zip, tap, hum) to channel last-minute wiggles

A warm, non-scary tone that reassures sensitive readers

Dreamy, bedtime-soft art and a lovable Owl guide

Ideal for ages 2-6; great for family reading, classrooms, and storytime

If your child enjoys gentle bedtime stories and read-aloud rhymes, this calming, pun-happy book will help them sleep well and wake ready for bright morning light.
