Seven Evenings Before Sleep: Animal Friends - Forest Friends
A bedtime book of gentle woodland creatures for children ages 3-8
When the day is almost done and the noise has gone quiet, step into the forest. The deer rests at the edge of the meadow. The fox curls in a patch of ferns. One by one, every animal finds its peaceful place for the night.
Over seven evenings, meet fourteen forest friends - each one doing its quiet work by day, then settling down to sleep as the light fades. From the squirrel who planted forests without knowing it, to the beaver who shaped the stream. From the old wolf who carries generations of stories, to the ancient oak that watches over them all.
Each story is short, calm, and ends with the animal peacefully asleep. Two stories per evening, followed by a quiet picture. No plot tension. No loud surprises. Just a slow, soft journey into sleep.
Perfect for parents who want:
A true bedtime book that lowers the house energy
Gentle nature stories without hunting or fear
A ritual that can include your child's own name in the story
Let the forest grow quiet. Let every creature rest. And let your child rest too.
