The Sleepy Lighthouse — printable bedtime picture book (ages 2-5)
A slow-and-sleepy bedtime story. On the last rock at the end of the bay, the little lighthouse wakes up its light. Round… and round… and slow.

At the end of the bay, a little lighthouse turns its light out over the water — round… and round… and slow. One by one the waves, Barnacle the crab, Pip the seahorse, Tuck the turtle and big Bluebell the whale grow still beneath the sweeping beam, until even the Moon leans on a cloud and closes his eyes. 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 the last few minutes before sleep.
