A routine you can make your own
Start with a book you both want to share
Browse the library with your child and look at the cover, description and reading-level guidance. Choose something that fits their interests and the kind of reading time you want to have that evening.
You do not need to finish a whole book in one sitting. Read a few pages, look at an illustration together, or revisit a familiar part. Let the amount you read fit your family’s evening.
Find tonight’s read
Choose by interest and reading level
The Pupila library contains different subjects and reading levels. Read a book’s description before choosing it for bedtime; what feels right for one child may be different for another. Ages and levels are guidance for choosing a starting point.
A story does not have to be about sleep to become part of your bedtime routine. Explore everyday moments, friendship, family and nature, alongside nighttime tales. Choose a familiar favourite or a new book you would both like to share.
Moonlight and nighttime imagination
Follow Cheeku from daytime activities toward sleep, wonder where the moon has gone, or meet Kiku's nighttime friends. These choices mix familiar routines with make-believe; Ashley's story also opens a conversation about starting school.
