In Snoozby, Sam "fights" bedtime to stay awake and play while Snoozby, an animated pillow, "defends" sleep and the bedtime battle ensues. While Sam may win the bedtime battle that night, he loses the war when his day at school is completely disrupted due to his lack of sleep.

Randolph, KS, November 10, 2015 /PressReleasePing/ - Rowe Publishing, an independent publishing company, announced today the availability of Snoozby and the Great Big Bedtime Battle, a children's picture book written by authors and sleep clinicians Terry Cralle, RN, and Dr. W. David Brown, illustrated by Margeaux Lucas. This book is first in a series on sleep health and wellness for children.

In Snoozby, Sam "fights" bedtime to stay awake and play while Snoozby, an animated pillow, "defends" sleep and the bedtime battle ensues. While Sam may win the bedtime battle that night, he loses the war when his day at school is completely disrupted due to his lack of sleep.

The book is an unprecedented effort to educate and raise awareness in children about sleep health and wellness and the importance of getting the sleep all of us need to be our very best. Cralle notes that in many elementary schools, diet and exercise are addressed more so than sleep, resulting in a significant knowledge gap in this age group about the overall importance of sleep in our lives. Without sufficient sleep, however, efforts at improving diet and physical activity are futile. Good sleep habits in childhood help ensure a healthier adulthood. In Snoozby the benefits of a good night's sleep are made clear to young readers.

"We are pleased to welcome Terry and David into the family at Rowe Publishing," said owner, Sherri Rowe. "Snoozby and the Great Big Bedtime Battle aligns with our dedication to provide an excellent selection of educational, research, and unique material."
