Consider liking my review on Goodreads
I was granted complimentary PDF access to While My Guitar Gently Sleeps as part of my participation in a blog tour for this title with Goddess Fish Promotions. Thank you to all involved in affording me this opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.
While My Guitar Gently Sleeps is a sweet little bedtime story for kids (and parents) who love music. A child tucks their guitar into its case to sleep at bedtime, reminiscing about all the fun times they have making music during the day and looking forward to the music in their dreams. The repetition of “While my guitar gently sleeps” is the perfect nod to the classic ballad the title alludes to, and it brought a big smile to my face!
The illustrations are adorable and the ratio of text to pictures is ideal for very young kids. I imagine the more creative or musically inclined parents reading this at bedtime might even sing it!
About the Author
Jason is someone who has always felt music can be a soundtrack that defines different parts of our lives. He also believes being able to express yourself through an instrument can be a lifelong reward. Along with his wife, Paige, they try to make sure there are enough instruments and/or noisemakers around the house for their two children’s creativity and imagination to run wild.
