I’ve Never Sawn That Before!

Kristin Blakely / Julia Galotta

An ideal bedtime read for all those little ones who struggle to settle at night and who might feel a little scared when the lights go off…

Just when it is time to settle into bed, Nate’s imagination begins to run wild, thinking about all the things he’s never sawn [seen] before. A donut downpour, a dancing dinosaur, a sunken candy store and more help to prolong the tuck-in routine in this conversational bedtime story.  Dad provides Nate with comfort and reassurance, easing his worries when he takes out his hearing aids and is alone with the bedroom light turned off.  

With beautifully humorous illustrations and lyrical rhymes, “I’ve Never Sawn that Before” is a fresh nighttime read-aloud.  The book shows how a parent’s loving and gentle encouragement can help a little one drift off into a secure, cozy slumber and is appropriate for kids both with and without hearing loss.

As a hearing aid user herself, author Kristin Blakely has first-hand experience with hearing, speech, and language development challenges, both personally and as a parent.
