Tonight’s bedtime story is a gentle reading of a beautiful Native American Legend called The Hidden One which is included in the “Gifts of Story” series of storytelling by Aaron Shepard. This lovely legend is a Native American version of Cinderella.  Instead of background music, this story has soothing crackling fire sounds in the background to help enhance the feeling of cozy storytelling relaxation as you listen. The sounds continue after the story ends for a few extra seconds and then they gently fade away as you drift off

The Relaxing Bedtime Story of Maida's Little  House Chapter 7 & 8 (Maida Series)

Send me a text message to let me know if you’re enjoying the show!  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
