Most sleep books focus on bedtime. The Sleep Balloon teaches children the fun, magical secret that great sleep starts during the day — and shows them exactly how to build their days so they fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night. Parents love it. Kids ask for it again and again.
Your audience will learn something they can use tonight. Dr. Kimberly Ann Lemke is a licensed psychologist, a published writer, and a media guest who makes complex science impossible to put down — on the page or on the mic.
