Do you want to sleep in a tree like a koala?

How about at the bottom of the ocean like a whale?

Or upside down in a cave like a bat?  


Discover how different creatures go to sleep at night and imagine yourself snuggling down with them at bed time.  

You can also try and spot the playful caterpillar hidden on every page.

Her debut novel "So How Will You Sleep" has been inspired and written for her two young children who share her passion for animals from all corners of the world.  When she is not writing, Annabel can be found riding horses or walking in the countryside.

  • It's All About Stories

    A little treasure of a book, perfect for bedtime, with gentle rhyming text.

  • Mrs S E Mills

    Absolutely Fabulous..... highly recommended
    I bought this book for my two grandsons aged 6 and 1. Both boys are totally engaged whilst looking/reading this book, it is absolutely one of the best books we have and is chosen by the boys over and over again. There are amazing illustrations throughout this book, every page is a pure delight, and it encourages reading skills. My 6-year-old grandson is reading this book out loud and loving the story. Gorgeous colour on every page and well worth every penny. Cannot wait for Annabel to finish another book.

    Lyrical and beautiful book!
    Our 12-month-old adores this book. Both of us are just learning his favourites and this is definitely one of them. On our circulation of 2 or 3 must-reads for the bedtime routine! I think it’s the lyrical flow of the poetry and the captivating illustrations that do it for him. I secretly also think that he understands the meaning and message of the book (but he’s only 12 months although I do think he’s a genius! Haha) and hears the words as a calming call to serenity and dreams! Amazing book!

    A lovely bedtime book with beautiful illustrations. We loved finding out about how different animals sleep at night and my four year old especially loves finding the caterpillar on each page!

  • Jimbobybob

    My children love this book, they are already asking for it most nights. The words are so soothing and rhythmic, it's a perfect bedtime story and something I don't hate rereading to them which is a winner in my eyes! The illustrations are also BEAUTIFUL. I would highly recommend this.

    I got this book as a present for my little niece who absolutely loves it…. Perfect for winding down at bedtime, thinking and learning about all the different ways animals go to sleep. The writing is simple, rhythmic and rhyming… And each page is beautifully illustrated. It is a very sweet little bedtime book!

  • Anna

    This book is absolutely perfect for ages 0 to I’d say around 6 or 7!! Really good at helping them to wind down and think about sleep and also really educational about animals and makes your little one realise they are safe and snug ready for sleep!! Loved it!!
