The World Is Quiet Now
Gentle bedtime stories for ages 3–6. Just a voice and a story.
Stories I write and read myself,
the way I once made them up for my own children.
Meet Vega, a girl who looks up
and asks the night her questions.
Some stories wander among the stars.
Some stay close to home.
And sometimes almost nothing happens at all.
The stories
Every story, three ways
Listen to it at bedtime, hold it as a book, color it the next morning.
Vega and the World Below
High above the Earth, Vega is a little blue star.
