Magic Child | Board Book

Because convincing a three-year-old to go to sleep already qualifies as a form of magic.

Magic Child by Sarah Beck, illustrated by Nicole Revy, turns bedtime into a gentle little spell. Written in rhythmic verse, the board book introduces young children to grounding, breathwork, sensory awareness, herbalism, and protective rituals while guiding them toward the increasingly ambitious goal of becoming calm enough to actually sleep. Revy’s illustrations are created from hand-carved and printed linocuts in a warm two-color palette, giving the book the feeling of something discovered rather than manufactured. Made for babies and toddlers but considerably nicer to look at than most things designed for babies and toddlers, it’s a thoughtful gift for spiritual families, curious little minds, and anyone interested in making bedtime feel a little more intentional and a lot less like hostage negotiations.
