Sleepy Whispers: A Peaceful Asmr Touch-And-Feel

Relax, take a breath, and recenter your little one with this serene ASMR board book with calming text, soothing illustrations, and a variety of comforting touch-and-feel textures.

Sleepy Whispers is a tactile, soothing book designed to calm and relax. Every spread features high-quality textures that work with the text and illustrations to trigger an Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. ASMR is a physical sensation of calm or euphoria, sometimes described as a gentle tingle, that promotes restful sleep, reduces anxiety, and also aids neurodiverse children in self-regulation. Featuring a calming text to whisper-aloud, a repetitive counting element, and an interactive design that encourages bonding between adult and child, this gentle book is the perfect addition to any peaceful bedtime routine.
