A Bedtime Story About Nose Breathing, Healthy Teeth, and Peaceful Sleep

Luna and the Breath of the Smile Spirit

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 beneath the stars.

Together they discover the Smile Spirit Breath, a gentle bedtime ritual that helps children breathe better, sleep more deeply, and wake up feeling calm and bright.

A beautifully illustrated rhyming bedtime story for children aged 3 to 8, written by holistic dentist Marc Mortiboys. Includes a Smile Spirit Breath Song, a Bedtime Ritual Checklist, and a 7-Day Smilekeeper Tracker.

About The Book

Every night, millions of children fall asleep breathing through their mouths. Parents rarely notice. But quietly, over time, it affects their teeth, their sleep, their growing jaws, and the way they feel when they wake up in the morning.

This book is the gentle answer.

Luna and the Breath of the Smile Spirit takes Mary and Jamie on a magical nighttime adventure guided by Luna, a glowing silver dolphin who carries them through a starlit dream world to the Temple of Breath.

Along the way they meet Nosewind, a calm spirit who reveals the power of breathing through the nose. They meet Huffalo, who shows them exactly what happens when lips stay open during sleep. And they meet Bubblebliss, who hums so softly and so peacefully that the whole world seems to slow down and breathe.

By the time the journey ends, Jamie knows something he will carry with him every night from now on. Close your lips. Breathe through your nose. Hum gently and let your body find its rest.

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, this is a book that does something quietly extraordinary. It turns one of the most overlooked habits in children's health into something magical, memorable, and genuinely easy to practise.

Inside the book you will find a two-verse Smile Spirit Breath Song children can hum at bedtime, a Bedtime Ritual Checklist to follow each night, and a 7-Day Smilekeeper Tracker so the habit grows naturally over the first week and beyond.

Nasal breathing supports healthier teeth, calmer sleep, better focus, and a more relaxed jaw. Most children never learn this. Most adults never knew it either.
This book changes that. One story, one breath, one night at a time.

For children aged 3 to 8, and for every parent who wants bedtime to feel like the beginning of something good.

“We have tried everything to help our son sleep better. This little book did what none of it could. He hums himself to sleep now. Every night.”
