Wren and the Star-Boat — printable bedtime picture book (ages 2-5)

When the sun has gone from the wide, still bay, Wren rows her tiny boat out to gather the stars that fall — one star… in the boat. Big Blue the whale lifts one up on his nose, the little fish push one up from the deep, and the glowing jellyfish let one float free, until the sky is done falling and the Moon pulls a cloud up to his chin. 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.
