About This Book

English Hebrew Bilingual children's book. Perfect for kids learning English or Hebrew as their second language. Alice doesn't want to go to sleep. Mom calms her down by reminding her of all the things they did together that evening.

Our Review

This gentle bilingual bedtime story offers a comforting solution to a common childhood struggle through parallel English and Hebrew text. The narrative follows a mother soothing her daughter Alice by recounting their evening activities together, creating a calming ritual that helps ease the transition to sleep. The dual-language presentation makes this particularly valuable for families introducing either English or Hebrew as a second language, with clear, repetitive phrases that support language acquisition. Young readers will recognize their own bedtime resistance in Alice's experience while absorbing vocabulary in both languages.

What distinguishes this book is how naturally it integrates language learning into a relatable nightly routine, making the educational aspect feel organic rather than instructional. The repetitive structure of recalling daily events—from dinner to bath time—provides predictable language patterns that reinforce vocabulary without feeling repetitive to children. Families raising bilingual children or those wanting to introduce a new language will find this especially effective as part of their bedtime ritual. The combination of emotional reassurance and practical language exposure creates a resource that addresses both developmental needs and daily parenting challenges.
