Hyskell shares, “Trouble getting to sleep? Is your little one anxious at bedtime? Is their little mind too focused on the unknowns? Mine was, and that was the loving origin of this book. My grandfather’s heart just wanted to minister to her needs and give her a comforting truth reality to hold on to.
“This book is intended to give comfort but also to be a first encounter with a very loving Good Shepherd. The intent is for them to know and visualize the love of their Good Shepherd through interaction with the story encounters and the beautiful picture illustrations. I pray this book will leave them with a peaceful assurance that their Good Shepherd loves them and is always with them and watching over them, even when they can’t see Him. May this first love encounter continue to give peace and to blossom and bless them as they grow older.
“May it be a sweet blessing to all parents, grandparents, guardians, and especially our treasured little ones! My heart is with you and, as you and your precious little one will gladly discover, ‘because of Him the little lamb sleeps!’
“Sleep tight!”

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
