A Lullaby of Love for Vivienne: A Bedtime Treasure
As a mom blogger, I often find myself searching for the perfect book to wind down with my little ones after a whirlwind of a day. Lately, bedtime has transitioned from a joyful journey to a bit of a battleground—one more chapter, one more story, and yet somehow, my kids still can’t seem to settle down! That’s why I was thrilled to discover A Lullaby of Love for Vivienne, a beautifully personalized bedtime story that my kids—and I—absolutely adore.
Written by Suzanne Marshall, this sweet gem goes beyond just being a storybook. It’s a heartfelt lullaby filled with love and gratitude, all wrapped up in the charm of personalized storytelling. The book is designed for any child named Vivienne, but you can easily have it customized with any child’s name via LiveWellMedia.com. What a delightful touch for turning a bedtime routine into a special ritual!
The Magic Within the Pages
The story unfolds with enchanting musical animals who band together to play a delightful lullaby for the star of the story. My kids were instantly captivated by the colorful illustrations depicting these charming creatures in a cozy, whimsical world. As I read aloud, I could see their eyes light up with curiosity, especially when a playful bunny hopped by or a sleepy bear yawned on the page.
The rhythm of the text flowed beautifully, making it a joy to read out loud. My little ones chimed in at parts, especially when we reached the repetition of “Vivienne,” which they squealed with glee at every mention—it’s always so nice to see them connecting to the story. One evening, my son pointed at the page with a raucous elephant playing a trumpet and exclaimed, “That’s like Daddy!”—an unexpected giggle that led to a short, silly parade around the living room with him playing his own imaginary trumpet.
What truly warmed my heart were the gratitude poems sprinkled throughout. We took a moment after reading to discuss what we were thankful for that day. It beautifully opened the floor to tender conversations that I cherish and want to encourage. The book gently emphasizes the power of gratitude, which, as studies suggest, helps improve sleep and happiness in children—a winning combination!
