Sleepy Kiwi

Sleepy Kiwi is designed to engage babies right from birth, with bold black and white graphics that babies can actually see.

This innovative book aims to help mum and dad establish healthy sleep routines through reading to little ones from day 1. Further down the track, Sleepy Kiwi is a great first reader particularly for children suffering from dyslexia. The rationale for this is that the author is dyslexic herself, so she has designed the book in a dyslexic-friendly format, from the fonts to the non-use of any glyphs or serifs that can present reading obstacles. The sentence structure is also designed to be easy to read, using repetition and onomatopoeia rather than forced rhyme, so it is more natural to read aloud and encourage a relaxed transition to sleep.
