RICHMOND, VA, UNITED STATES, September 13, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Belle Isle Books of Richmond, Virginia, is pleased to announce the upcoming release of a new children’s picture book, ‘Littlest Mano at Bedtime,’ written by Anita Dromey and illustrated by Taranggana.

It’s a peaceful night by the sea as a herd of goats prepare for sleep—but the littlest goat, Mano, doesn’t want to come when his mother calls him. Though the other goats are anxious to depart, Mano is content to leave the hill where the herd grazes and make the trek down the path from the hill to the sleeping grounds only when he is able to lead the other goats in a parade. But when little Mano discovers unforeseen consequences to his unwillingness to head to bed when his mother requested, he receives not condemnation, but an important lesson in grace— as well as comforting acceptance, patience, and forgiveness.

Told in charming rhyming verse evocative of classic bedtime stories, and accompanied by rich illustrations, ‘Littlest Mano at Bedtime’ is scheduled for release on September 17, 2024.

‘The goats love to graze and play all day on the sunny hillside. But when it’s time to trek to the cooler breezes of the seaside for their evening rest, Littlest Mano says he isn’t tired of playing yet! How will Mama Goat keep Littlest Mano with the group so they can all settle down together for the night?’
