Welcome back sleepy heads! Tonight we have a super sleepy bedtime story by Beatrix Potter called "The Tale of Samuel Whiskers". This slow storytelling is sleep inducing because the story's pace gradually slows down which helps reduce stimulation and promotes restful sleep. This sleepy narration makes the perfect bedtime companion to gently guide you into a peaceful sleep.  

With the first round of slow reading, you will enjoy the storytelling at a comfortable pace, perfect for the initial relaxation. With the second round of reading the pace slows down, easing you further down into a tranquil state. And finally, the third and last round of reading, you will experience the slowest rendition, ideal for falling deep into sleep. So go ahead and press play, close your eyes, and let the gentle world of Samuel Whiskers carry you all the way to dreamland. Sweet dreams and happy listening!

Your friend,

Joanne

Hello my sleepy friend! I am thrilled to have you join me as we journey together tonight with 2 mystical Japanese folktales called The Tea Kettle and The Good Thunder. Each tale holds a unique charm and have been passed down from generation to generation...reminding us that life, in all its unpredictability, is a beautiful journey of growth and understanding. As usual we begin with a short settling in relaxation followed by the storytelling. I hope you enjoy these tales that I’ve chosen...may they bring you restful sleep. Sweet dreams!

Your friend,
Joanne

Welcome back my sleepy friend! Just a few months ago, we ventured into the Maida Series world with the first book of the series called "Maida's Little Shop" by Inez Haynes Irwin. A tale that warmed our hearts about a wealthy little girl who is sickly and lame and finds happiness living in an ordinary neighborhood with ordinary children while tending her little shop. 

Tonight we continue that journey with the second book called "Maida's Little House. The relaxing bedtime story will take you on a magical journey with Maida and all of her friends, while  they spend a happy summer together in a sweet little house in the country that has everything a child could wish for. So lie back and relax as we continue our journey once more into Maida's little world!  Wishing you the sweetest of dreamzzz...

Welcome back dreamy listeners! Tonight we will drift off to a beautiful Japanese tale called 'The Black Bowl'. This is an old Japanese folktale that was collected and then later retold by author Grace James in the 1900's in her book called 'Japanese Fairytales'. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved narrating it for you! May this storytelling bring you peace and a restful sleep!
