WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

"

If bedtime has been feeling like a struggle, this book is absolutely worth grabbing-- it uses kids' natural imagination to gently teach relaxation.  It's a smart, low-stress way to build calming skills that carry over night after night. 

"

Having witnessed Leslie's own journey toward living a more intentional and mindful life, I can see her heart on every page of this book.  Sometimes I Pretend I'm Spaghetti is a beautiful reflection of her playful, grounded, and deeply kind spirit. It's more than a bedtime story; it's a tool that helps children navigate their own big energy with imagination and grace.

This book teaches relaxation in a way that actually clicks for my kids, using skills they already have like imagination and creativity.  It helps them calm down and strengthen a new skill.  A total win for our family
