Brutus has a problem.
Every morning, a ripe mango appears beneath Grandma’s tree, and nobody knows how it got there.
Determined to solve the mystery, he plans to stay awake all night. But under the moonlit branches of an old Jamaican mango tree, with crickets singing and Grandma rocking gently on the verandah, Brutus learns that not everything requires his attention.
A relaxing sleep story inspired by Jamaican childhood memories, designed for overthinkers, caretakers, helpers, and anyone who struggles to switch off at bedtime.
Put down the day’s worries.
Get comfortable.
And remember:
Rest is easy.
Perfect for anyone who struggles with insomnia, racing thoughts, anxiety, stress, or simply finding space to unwind before bed.
Put down today’s worries.
Get comfortable.
Take a slow breath.
And remember:
Rest is easy.
