Why Do We Say Good Night? is a comforting, beautifully illustrated bedtime book that helps children face the dark with peace by remembering who God is. Written by award-winning author Champ Thornton, this gentle story follows a mother and daughter as they talk together at bedtime and reflect on three reassuring truths: God made the night, God sees in the dark, and God watches over his children like a shepherd cares for his sheep. Through simple, calming language, children are reminded that nighttime is not something to fear because Jesus is near and God’s care never stops. Designed to become a natural part of bedtime routines, Why Do We Say Good Night? gives families an easy way to end the day with truth, comfort, and connection. With glowing nighttime colors, playful shadowy creatures, and dreamlike forest scenes that feel imaginative rather than frightening, it offers parents a helpful resource for easing nighttime fears and helping children rest in the goodness and presence of God.
