Tides: How The Moon Moves the Sea

By Joshua Daniel Fleishman

Does your child have a "busy brain" at bedtime?

From the creator of the hit podcast The Bedtime Scientist comes a gentle, non-fiction journey designed to help active minds wind down.

In this book, we don't tell fairytales. Instead, we visit the water's edge to watch the ocean breathe. Through the rhythmic motion of the tides, your child will discover the soothing science of the sea.

Inside this book, your child will:

Discover the "Invisible String" Learn how the Moon uses gravity to gently pull the ocean, creating the tides.
Meet "Pearl" Follow a single drop of seawater as she polishes the sand and glows under the moonlight.
Explore Tide Pools: Peek inside the tiny "nature aquariums" where sea anemones and crabs wait patiently for the water to return.
Practice Somatic Breathing: The text is written with a built-in rhythm-High Tide (breath in) and Low Tide (breath out)-to naturally slow your child's breathing as you read.

Why The Bedtime Scientist works:

Standard bedtime stories can sometimes be too exciting. The Bedtime Scientist is different. It uses "gentle science"-fascinating, real-world concepts delivered in a calm, documentary style. There are no sudden surprises and no scary villains-just the steady, comforting laws of the universe.

Perfect for neurodivergent children, anxious sleepers, or any child who needs a quiet place to rest their mind.

Join us at the water's edge. It's time to let the ocean hold you.
