Maddy Learns the Middle is for Pillows
In 'Maddy Learns the Middle is for Pillows,' five-year-old Maddy faces a common childhood challenge: sleeping in her own bed. While she loves her big kid room during the day, nighttime makes her crave the warmth and safety of her parents' bed. When her parents gently tell her that 'the middle is for pillows,' Maddy feels sad and alone. But with a little courage, she learns helpful coping skills like taking deep breaths, holding onto a special comfort item, and reminding herself that her room is safe. By the end of the story, Maddy realizes she can do hard things and proudly embraces her own bed.
