Arlo the Lion Who Couldn't Sleep

This beautiful, meditative book about a lion who can't sleep is an excellent bedtime read for reluctant sleepers.

Arlo is a very tired lion, and he's tried everything to get to sleep. But the grass is too prickly, the trees are too noisy, and his family wriggles awfully too much. Goodness! How is an exhausted lion ever to get a wink of shuteye? Luckily, owl has a few tricks up her sleeve, and Arlo couldn't be happier to give them a whirl.

This gentle and humorous bedtime story has a calming message of mindfulness and centeredness that's beautifully complemented by gorgeous watercolor, acrylic ink, and pencil art from Kate Greenway Medal-winning author-illustrator, Catherine Rayner.
