What is Arlo the Lion Who Couldn't Sleep about?

Arlo the lion is exhausted but can't find a comfortable place to sleep. The grass is too prickly, the trees are too noisy, and his family wriggles too much. Fortunately, Owl shares a special song that helps Arlo relax and drift off to sleep. This beautifully illustrated bedtime story offers a gentle message of mindfulness and is perfect for young children struggling to fall asleep.
