As a huge animal lover and an absolute sucker for any fur baby, I’m beyond excited to bring you this special sleep story competition. Recently, I officially adopted my two foster cats; Milo and Ivy, a sweet brother-and-sister duo who’ve completely stolen my heart. Watching them settle into their forever home got me thinking... how fun would it be to write a sleep story about their little adventures? ("The Adventures of Milo and Ivy" - Stay tuned for that one!)


Meet Milo & Ivy - my two little muses who sparked this whole idea, reimagined as sleep story characters! This could be YOUR pet next, starring in their own dreamy adventure.

Then, with National Pet Day on the horizon, the idea grew even bigger. So many of you, my listeners, have shared your own love for animals, and I thought, why not give you the chance to have your own pet star in a sleep story too? And so, this giveaway was born!


To help bring this vision to life, I have teamed up with fellow animal lover Hollis Barkhaus, the author behind our Ember Isles collection and The Bridge Book Trilogy. His own dog, Cascade, was the inspiration behind one of our past sleep stories (you can listen to it here), so I knew he was the perfect person to write a heartwarming, one-of-a-kind sleep story starring your pet!


How to Enter


Entering is simple:

  • Follow both @unwindwithrest and @thebridgebookseries on Instagram.

  • Like & share the competition post.

  • Tag a friend in the comments - each tag counts as an entry, so the more you tag, the higher your chances of winning!


That’s it! Entries close on February 28, 2025, and one winner will be chosen at random.


In case you we're wondering...


  • Can any pet be the focus of the sleep story? Yes! Whether you have a dog, cat, rabbit, bird, or even a reptile; any pet can be the star of this sleep story.

  • Do I need to submit a photo or video of my pet? Only if you win! We’ll send you a short questionnaire to learn more about your pet’s personality and habits and ask for a few photos. From there, we’ll create a story inspired by them!

  • Can I enter if I don’t have a pet? Yes! You can enter on behalf of a friend or family member’s pet, it would make for a nice little gift; just make sure you have their permission.

  • When will I know if I’ve won? We’ll announce the winner on March 1, 2025 via Instagram. Make sure to check our stories and posts!


We can’t wait to create a magical sleep story inspired by one of your beloved pets. May the best listener win!
