Our Children's Book of the Month for June 2026 is The Sleeper Train by Mick Jackson.
Imagine travelling with your family across India on the night train. All the family members have a bed in a cosy cabin as the train travels across a vast moonlit country.
But as the train rocks from side to side, the little girl can’t sleep. It’s all too exciting! So, instead, she travels through her memory to all the different places she has slept – from her room at home, to a tent in the wild, to Mum’s old room at Grandma and Grandad’s house.
A lovely comforting and soothing bedtime story beautifully illustrated in rich colours. Perfect for bedtime reading with 3 to 5 year olds.
