I am sleeping at my friend’s house, and bedtime is different here.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. At a sleepover, bedtime happens at my friend’s house. Their bedtime is not exactly like mine.
2. Their house has different sounds and different dark. The pillow smells different. The nightlight might be a different color, or there might be no nightlight.
New house sounds, a different-feeling blanket, unfamiliar shadows.
3. I can pack my own comfort. My pillow, my stuffed friend, my water bottle. Familiar things make a new room feel friendlier.
4. In the dark, I might hear a sound I do not know.
What could that sound be?
The heater or refrigerator humming.
The house creaking as it cools down at night.
Someone walking to the bathroom.
We do not have enough information to know.
💡 Unknown sounds almost always have ordinary causes. This house is just speaking its own language.
5. If bedtime feels wobbly, I have choices.

6. I can ask my friend’s grown-up for what I need.
7. Calling home is always allowed. Wanting to go home is allowed too. Grown-ups can make that happen. Neither one ruins the sleepover.
8. Then it is morning! Sleepover nights end with breakfast and stories about the fun parts. I slept somewhere new, and that is a big deal.
In the app, your child can choose what happens next, rehearse lines out loud with Spark, and try different endings — including hearing a kind "no" and being celebrated for respecting it. Parents can also create fully personalized stories.
