Hop, Hop, Hush — printable bedtime picture book (ages 2-5)
A slow-hopping bedtime story. When the sun slips down behind the long meadow, Clover the rabbit is still wide, wide awake. Hop… hop… hush.

When the sun slips down behind the long meadow, Clover the rabbit is still wide awake — hop… hop… hush. Down the hill she goes, past Ember the fox, big Bramble the bear and Olive the owl, and every hop is a little smaller and a little slower than the last, until there are no more hops at all and Clover curls up in her hollow under a sleeping Moon. Every page repeats one gentle rhythm and slows it a little more, with soft breathe-in, breathe-out cues along the way. A calming wind-down story for ages 2–5, made for wriggly little ones in the last few minutes before sleep.
