Thomas Sherman\u2019s Gentle, Imaginative Picture Book Celebrates Grandparent Bonds, Bedtime Routines, and the Magic of Childhood Curiosity<\/div>\n

It starts with a question every parent or grandparent has whispered in the glow of a morning sun: “How did you sleep?” But in the hands of beloved author Thomas Sherman<\/strong>, that simple phrase becomes the doorway to a whimsical bedtime world — one filled with frogs on lily pads, dolphins in the sea, and the most important creature of all: a child tucked in with love.<\/p>\n

Good Morning, How Did You Sleep?<\/a> is more than a bedtime book — it’s a conversation between generations, a celebration of wonder, and a tribute to the joy of being close to the ones we love.<\/p>\n

A Bedtime Story with Heart — and Imagination<\/strong><\/p>\n

Told in lyrical, repetitive phrasing that invites young readers to join in, this beautifully illustrated picture book follows a sweet exchange between a grandparent and a child reflecting on how — and where — they might have slept the night before. Was it like a pig in the mud? A hummingbird on a branch? A pony standing tall?<\/p>\n

Each answer adds whimsy and rhythm while reinforcing the beauty of real-world connection: being safe, warm, and cherished — in bed, at home, surrounded by love.<\/p>\n

The final response? As any grandparent will smile to read: “Like a girl in a bed, Grandpa!”<\/p>\n

A Perfect Gift for Bedtime, Birthdays, and Grandparent Sleepovers <\/strong><\/p>\n

Featuring vibrant illustrations by Gerald Salazar<\/strong> and delightful animal comparisons, Good Morning, How Did You Sleep?<\/em> is ideal for shared reading between grandparents and grandchildren. The story wraps science, humor, and heartfelt repetition into a memorable reading experience that both kids and caregivers will treasure night after night.<\/p>\n

And yes — parents and teachers will love the back pages too, where Sherman dives into fascinating real-life facts about how animals actually sleep, from dolphins’ half-brain rest to giraffes’ standing naps.<\/p>\n

A Love Letter to Grandparenting and Childhood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspired by Thomas Sherman’<\/strong>s own mornings with his grandchildren, this book reflects the magic of small questions that hold big meaning. With warmth, simplicity, and reverence for childhood curiosity, Sherman gives families a new tradition — asking, and imagining, together.<\/p>\n
