Brooke, Watson & Sherlock Quinn

I’m walking with my six-year-old son, Watson, and our goldendoodle, Sherlock, because sleep is one of the most important and often most invisible parts of a child’s health.

When a child is struggling with sleep, the clues may appear during the day as changes in learning, behavior, mood, growth, or simply their ability to feel like themselves. Too often, children and families are misunderstood before anyone becomes curious about what their bodies may be communicating.

Through Watson & Sherlock, the children’s science series Watson and I created together, and my broader work with Quinnspired, I help turn sleep and body science into language children and families can actually use.

We are joining LIVESEEN to support Anne Marie, Rachel, and a community built around a powerful truth: progress deserves to be recognized, even when the condition or struggle itself cannot be seen.

We walk for children whose sleep challenges are hidden, for families searching for language and answers, and for a future where curiosity comes before judgment.
