About This Book

Alana has a problem. She can’t go to sleep! For several nights now, her mommy and daddy have tried to help. They’ve rubbed her back and sung her favorite songs...still, she hardly gets any sleep at all. But what Alana doesn’t know is that her guardian angel is very near...and something wonderful is about to happen. With the special element of a serene and beautiful musical accompaniment, and its uplifting message of Divine support and protection, Lullaby for Alana makes a perfect, comforting bed

Our Review

This gentle picture book addresses a common childhood challenge—trouble falling asleep—with a spiritual twist that offers genuine comfort. When young Alana struggles to find rest despite her parents' best efforts, the story introduces a guardian angel whose presence brings peaceful resolution. The narrative weaves a calming bedtime ritual with the reassuring concept of divine protection, creating a soothing atmosphere perfect for winding down. An included musical accompaniment enhances the tranquil mood, making this more than just a story—it's an experience designed to ease nighttime anxiety.

What sets this sleep aid apart is its ability to validate children's very real difficulties with sleep while providing a gentle, faith-based solution that feels both magical and safe. The combination of lyrical text, serene illustrations, and soft music creates multiple sensory pathways to relaxation, particularly effective for children who need extra reassurance at bedtime. Families seeking stories that blend practical sleep strategies with spiritual comfort will find this resource especially valuable. The result is a truly holistic approach to bedtime that can help transform restless nights into moments of peaceful connection.
