If you're the one still up after everything has gone quiet - the one who does the rounds, keeps the invisible list, holds everyone up and gets held by nobody - this book was made for the night you're having.
Being read to at the end of the day was never something we should have had to leave behind with childhood. The point was never the story; it was that somebody stopped what they were doing, sat down, and stayed there until you were settled. Being read to is being seen. That's what a child is actually getting, and grown people still need it. We just decided somewhere along the way that we shouldn't, so most adults end the day with nobody having looked at them all the way through it.
This is a small, full-color book for grownups written to be read in bed and closed before the light goes out. It won't fix anything and doesn't ask anything back. It just stays beside you while the day loosens its hold - a quieter, kinder thing to reach for than the phone you'd otherwise be scrolling at bedtime.
And if the person who came to mind just now isn't you but someone else - the one in your life who carries too much - this is the book you hand over without a word. Made-me-think-of-you, not a lecture.
A taste of what's inside - Tonight's Forecast:
Heavy skies, and a full day's weight you've been carrying since morning. Nothing needs lifting tonight - leave the load right where you're standing. Lighter to pick back up by morning, if you still want all of it.
Reading time: no more than 10 minutes.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
