Bedtime doesn't have to be a battle. Get your nights back.

If you're done walking your child back to bed again and again, or waiting for them to fall asleep so you can sneak away, this book is for you.

A story kids love

Marley the monkey isn't sure about falling asleep on his own, until Mama monkey teaches him the Be Right Back game. With a pinky promise and a little practice, he learns he can be big, he can be brave, and Mama monkey always comes back.

Rooted in research

The Be Right Back game is based on the Excuse Me Drill, a gentle, proven way to help children learn to fall asleep independetly.

A guide for parents

Inside, a step-by-step parent guide shows you exactly how to use the method at home, so the story becomes a real bedtime tool to teach the important skill of learning how to fall asleep independently.

An endorsement from Dr. Brett Kuhn, the sleep psychologist who developed the Excuse Me Drill, is coming soon.
