If your child’s worries wake up right when the lights go out, you’re not doing anything wrong — bedtime is simply the first quiet moment of the day, and quiet is where feelings get loud. What helps isn’t arguing with the worry (“there’s nothing to be scared of!”) but giving your child a routine for it.
Every Mira & Lumo book is built around one: Name it · Breathe it · Let it go. A child meets one big feeling per book, and Lumo — a small warm-gold glow — shows how to greet it, breathe it soft, and send it off to the stars. These three are the ones parents of worriers reach for first:
The Whisper Worries
The classic what-if spiral at lights-out. Mira learns that a worry that gets named gets smaller — and sends each one into the sky to become a star.
The Can't-Stop Thinkies
For the child whose brain won’t turn off. A gentle routine for slowing a busy mind, one thought at a time.
The First-Day Flutters
The night before something new. Lumo’s warmest secret: nervous and excited feel exactly the same inside.
