How Bedtime for Nessa Helps Kids Look Forward to Lights-Out

Parents everywhere know the evening shuffle: toys scattered across the floor, bath time resistance, and kids begging for “just five more minutes.” That’s why Bedtime for Nessa works so well.

By putting Nessa at the center of the story, this 24-page book transforms ordinary routines into little victories—picking up toys, brushing teeth, slipping into pajamas, and snuggling in with Teddy. Personalized touches, like her name and appearance, create ownership and joy. When kids see themselves in the story, they’re more eager to copy the same behaviors in real life.

At www.firsttimebooks.com, you can design your own version in just a few clicks. Choose the child’s name, gender, hair color, skin tone, and even include a dedication message. The result? A keepsake story that calms evenings, builds connection, and creates bedtime traditions worth keeping.
