Meet Australian author Wendy Haynes as she discusses her delightful picture book Hayden’s Bedtime.

In this interview, Wendy shares information about her writing process and her reasons for writing this picture book. Would you believe it was inspired by her own grandson Hayden?

In this book, Dad must check every corner of the room to ensure nothing is lurking before Hayden will go to bed. Once he assures Hayden that everything is safe, Dad reads a story then turns out the light on a child who is now sleeping soundly.
