Good Night Freddie

After a busy day, Freddie settles down for a good night’s sleep, but this is interrupted by a series of short dreams about animals that seem to be getting bigger and bigger every time he falls back to sleep. In the end, a really big surprise is waiting for Freddie, but is this another dream or something different and very real indeed?

It is thought that from a very young age, a child may begin to experience short but very vivid dreams that heavily feature animals. As they grow, these dreams become longer and more complex, but how can you possibly explain to a young child what dreams are and why they are not real? Perhaps Freddie’s experiences may go some way to help to explain this mystery.

Roger lives in Northamptonshire with his wife, Jenny. They have two sons and – at the time of writing – one grandson.

Roger has worked for most of his life with and for children as a social worker. He has previously published a book about fostering and produced a board game for families who want to foster. It has been a longstanding ambition of his to write a picture book for young children and Good Night Freddie has seen that ambition finally realised.
