In August 2007, Benji Bennett’s life changed forever when his adored four year-old son, Adam, died suddenly of an undiagnosed brain tumour. Inspired by his deep love for Adam, Benji made a pledge to share this love with other families and so he began to write. Read Benji and Adam's story here

Benji's first book, Before You Sleep, was such a success that it even outsold Julia Donaldson's The Gruffalo when it was first published. The author always believed strongly in the power of bedtime and so this book is perfect for reading to your little one before bed.

To celebrate the UK release of Before You Sleep, we have 50 copies to give away to Mumsnetters who want to read and share their (and their children's) thoughts about it on this discussion. Go to the giveaway page to find out more about the book and apply for a free copy.

You don't have to win a free copy to take part in the discussion. Anyone who has read Before You Sleep can post their feedback here. If you miss out on a free one, you can buy a copy. All who post feedback before 6 September will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Love2shop voucher. The giveaway ends on Monday 25 July so apply now!

This giveaway is sponsored by Adam's Cloud
