Sea Snooze

"[W]ith her energetic rhyming that has us travelling with the children on their dream boat, Sarabeth Holden is singing a lullaby for children to rest, imagine, and enjoy their lives in a different way." * CanLit for Little Canadians * "Holden has written a charming story. . . the story cleverly aligns with the natural rhythms of a childs bedtime. Steeped in action and adventure at the beginning, the story is designed to immediately capture a childs attention and imagination. As the narrative continues, the action slows and the seas calm, encouraging readers to do the same. . .This is a sweet book thats perfect for drowsy dreamers" * Quill & Quire * "The journey from energy to calm through this adventurous dreamscape is the perfect way to put young adventurers to sleep."Hakai Magazine

Sarabeth Holden lives in Toronto with her husband, Sean, and their sons, Raymond and Jackson. The whole family loves to spend time outside and go on adventures. When theyre not outside, Sarabeth enjoys singing made-up songs to make things like diaper changes and face wiping a little more bearable so they can get back to the things they love: blowing raspberries, having kitchen dance parties, and reading stories. Sarabeth grew up in Nova Scotia, Nunavut, New Brunswick, and Ontario, and is co-founder of the Toronto Inuit Association, supporting the local Inuit community as it grows.
