“A better bedtime, one page at a time.”
Children’s Bedtime Books for Cozy Read-Aloud Moments
Nighttype Books creates thoughtfully designed children’s bedtime books that help families bring reading back into the evening routine. Our stories are built around love, friendship, courage, belonging, and the kind of wonder that helps children feel connected to themselves, their families, and the world around them.
Every book is created with the evening reader in mind. We pair heartfelt storytelling with immersive illustration, generous page layouts, and a larger, easy-to-read Lexend font to support a more comfortable read-aloud experience at the end of a long day. The result is a bedtime book that feels inviting for children and easier for tired grown-ups to read aloud.
In a world where screens often fill the final moments before sleep, we believe books can bring families back to something slower, richer, and more connected. A story creates space for conversation, imagination, closeness, and the simple ritual of ending the day together.
Nighttype Books was born from the belief that bedtime reading should feel meaningful, manageable, and memorable. If this is your kind of bedtime, welcome. Let’s make it something children and grown-ups look forward to, one page at a time.
New Release: A Bedtime Picture Book Adventure to Canada
Lolli’s next adventure abroad begins now!
The third book in the Lolli Stromboli & The Adventures of Mouse House series, Lolli Stromboli and the Sticky Situation, is now available on Amazon.
Mouse is ready to dig into his famous waffles when he discovers one big problem: the Canadian maple syrup has run out.
With Lolli and Scout by his side, they journey through the magical travel portal to the snowy maple forests of Quebec. There, the friends meet Birch, a friendly beaver whose sugar shack is busy preparing the season's first batch of maple syrup.
As they lend a hand, Lolli discovers how maple syrup is made, enjoys a beloved sugar shack tradition, and learns that teamwork and a little patience can make even the stickiest situations sweeter.
Created for ages 4 to 7, this bedtime picture book is thoughtfully designed for shared reading, featuring larger, easy-to-read font, uncluttered page layouts, and a gentle story rhythm that helps make bedtime reading a little calmer for the whole family.
Core themes: teamwork, patience, friendship, exploration, and curiosity.

Let’s Bring Reading Back to Bedtime
Screens before sleep have become part of many family routines because they feel convenient in the moment. But research has consistently linked evening screen use with later bedtimes and less total sleep for children. One major review found that 90 percent of studies connected screen time with delayed bedtimes or shorter sleep, and a 2024 randomized trial found that removing screens in the hour before toddler bedtime led to early improvements in sleep quality.
Books offer something screens cannot replace: shared language, conversation, closeness, and imagination. When a grown-up reads aloud, a child is not just hearing a story. They are building vocabulary, practicing attention, learning emotional language, and feeling connected at the end of the day.
That is why Nighttype Books creates children’s bedtime books for real evening routines: stories that help families slow down, reconnect, and return to books before sleep.
