Remmy and the Brain Train

Traveling through the land of good sleep

This song is a companion to the award-winning book Remmy and the Brain Train by Dr. James Maas, which is a children’s version of the sleep messaging in Dr. Maas’s best-selling books for grownups, Power Sleep and Sleep for Success! The song follows the book word-for-word, with added sound effects to go along with Guy Danella’s delightfully fanciful illustrations.
