A gentle bedtime story starring your child
A quiet, soothing story for the last minutes of the day. Your child follows a little firefly to a moonlit dream garden, keeps the best moment of the day in a glass jar and drifts back home to sleep. The pace slows down page by page, which makes it a good fit for a calm bedtime routine.
Who it's for
Children aged about 2 to 6 and families who read together before sleep. The soft language and slower rhythm suit the end of the day.
How the story goes
- 1Night falls; your child snuggles into bed and watches the moonlight.
- 2A tiny firefly arrives with an invitation to the Dream Garden.
- 3A gentle flight over the sleeping town and through soft clouds.
- 4In the garden, a kind moon offers a jar to keep the day's best moment.
- 5That happy memory becomes a new little constellation.
- 6Back in bed, the stars keep watch — goodnight.
Read a sample: Leo's Cloud Bridge
Example book with fictional characters — not a customer order.
The whole house was asleep. Only Leo's eyes were open. He hugged his teddy, Peanut, and counted the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling: one, two, three… but sleep just wouldn't come. “Peanut,” he whispered, “where do you think sleep hides?” Just then a silver light drifted in through the window and the curtains gently stirred.
Leo ran to the window. The Old Moon was smiling down at him! A bridge of soft clouds stretched from the windowsill, its far end disappearing among the stars. “Come along, little traveller,” said the Old Moon in a voice as sweet as warm milk. “Sleep is waiting for you at the other end of the bridge.” Leo put on his slippers and held Peanut tight.
