The Little Elephant Who Wants to Fall Asleep
– a new way of getting children to sleep
"After just two pages, our child was already yawning and relaxing"
– Parent to a two year old
The Little Elephant Who Wants to Fall Asleep is a heartwarming continuation of Carl-Johan Forssén Ehrlin’s method for helping children achieve better sleep.
In this story, we follow Ellen the Elephant and her mother on a journey to dreamland, where every friend they meet helps Ellen — and the young listener to slow down, release the day’s worries, and drift into peaceful sleep.
The book is part of a book series and built on the same psychologically grounded storytelling technique that made The Rabbit Who Wants to Fall Asleep a worldwide phenomenon, with a focus on rhythm, tone, and structure to support natural relaxation.
The illustrations are soothing and thoughtfully crafted to further enhance the child's inner calm. The Little Elephant Who Wants to Fall Asleep is ideal both as a comforting evening ritual and as an effective tool for children struggling with sleep challenges.
It is available as a physical book, e-book, and audiobook, and remains one of the most beloved and frequently listened-to titles on Storytel and other plattforms.
Carl-Johan Forssén Ehrlin’s sleep story series has sold over 8 million copies and been translated into 46 languages worldwide.
