A Magical Bedtime Story About Nose Breathing, Healthy Teeth, and the Power of a Happy Smile
by Marc Mortiboys
When Mary notices her brother Jamie sleeping with his mouth wide open, a silver dolphin named Luna appears in a shimmer of light and sweeps them both into a magical dream world.
Together they discover the Smile Spirit Breath - a gentle bedtime ritual that helps children breathe better, sleep more deeply, and wake up feeling truly bright.
A beautifully illustrated rhyming story for children aged 3 to 8, written by holistic dentist Marc Mortiboys.
Includes a Smile Spirit Bedtime Breath Chart, a 7-Day Smile Keeper Tracker, and a Breath Song children can hum every night.
Most children fall asleep breathing through their mouths without anyone noticing. It seems harmless.
But over time, mouth breathing dries the teeth, disrupts sleep, and quietly affects the way young jaws and airways develop. The answer is not complicated. It begins with a habit. And the best habits begin with a story.
Luna and the Temple of the Tongue follows Mary and Jamie on a dream adventure guided by Luna, a silver dolphin who glides through the night sky on currents of breath and light. Together they enter the Temple of Breath, where they meet a cast of unforgettable characters.
Nosewind shows them the calming power of nasal breathing. Huffalo demonstrates exactly what mouth breathing does to young teeth. Snory the giggling snail snores the night away with lips wide open. And Bubblebliss hums so peacefully the whole world seems to still.
By the end of the journey, Jamie knows what to do. Close your lips. Breathe through your nose. Hum softly and let your body settle into sleep.
This is far more than a bedtime story. Written in warm, soothing rhyme by Marc Mortiboys BDS, a UK-trained holistic dentist with over 40 years of clinical experience and founder of the Dental Shaman movement, every page is designed to make a genuinely important health habit feel like pure magic.
The book includes a two-verse Smile Spirit Breath Song that children can hum each night, a Bedtime Ritual Checklist, a full 7-Day Smilekeeper Tracker, and educational back matter explaining why nasal breathing matters for children's oral health, jaw development, and quality of sleep. Parents will find it as useful as children find it enchanting.
Nasal breathing is one of the most overlooked foundations of children's dental and physical health.
This book plants that seed gently, joyfully, and in a way that children will ask to revisit night after night.
For children aged 3 to 8. For every family who wants bedtime to be the beginning of something good.
