Shhh 

Good night, sloth… Sweet dreams, jaguar… At bedtime, the ritual of preparing for sleep enchants babies and young children, making this moment even more special. With the book ‘Shhh’, the reader will say ‘good night’ to the cutest little animals in the Amazon rainforest. At the end, a humorous surprise shows the baby in the story getting ready for his nap! The delicate illustrations reveal how each animal prefers to sleep, whether alone or cuddled up to its parents; on its belly or down, and even with one eye open! Any resemblance to us humans is no coincidence!
YOU’D LIKE TO KNOW THAT… This book has been awarded the Nature Inside seal because of its concern for the environment and environmental education for children and young people. Following the guidelines of Agenda 2030/UN and UNESCO, the book values the reader’s integration with the nature that exists around them and also with that present in the forests and thickets of the preservation areas.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT… This book is friendly to readers with dyslexia, as the font used is Open Dyslexic, making reading more enjoyable for everyone. The text is in capital letters, which also helps readers who are in the process of becoming literate.
WHY READ IT? Children love animals and will love discovering how each one likes to sleep: alone, in the middle of their parents, on their stomachs… And at the end, they’ll be delighted to discover that they too sleep in a very similar way to the animals in the book…
