Excerpt

Every evening, Daddy goes to Katy and Jessa’s room to say goodnight. As he tucks them in, they yell, “Me first, Daddy, me first!”

Daddy kneels down and lays his hand on the head of one of his daughters. She knows his words by heart. “Goodnight head, the head that is filled with the dreams of God. The head that is as full of God’s dreams as the sky is with stars. Dreams of helping people, dreams of going places, and dreams of making a difference in the world. Goodnight head.”

With fingertips brushing her lips, he goes on. “Goodnight mouth, the mouth that can speak forth the words of life. Goodnight mouth that can say, ‘I love you Mommy, I love you Daddy, I love you Sissy.’The mouth that speaks truth and goodness and love. Goodnight mouth.”

This beautiful bedtime story for daddies and daughters is a new and timeless classic. Delightfully illustrated, this sweet lullaby will inspire children to dream of the wonder and glory of their young lives. From the top of your head to the tips of your toes, you’ll look forward to reading The Goodnight Thing each night with your family.
