In this soothing and gently funny bedtime adventure, kids meet Rill, a tiny river who loves to rush, splash, and zoom faster than anyone else in the valley — until one day he gets himself hilariously stuck between two boulders. With help from wise Grandmother Willow and a few forest friends (including a frog in a lily-pad hat!), Rill discovers the magic of slowing down, noticing the world around him, and finding calm inside himself.
Featuring peaceful nature sounds, warm storytelling, and a sweet lesson about mindfulness and self-regulation, “The Little River That Learned to Slow” is perfect for helping little listeners relax, breathe, and drift peacefully toward sleep.
