When the sky turned violet, a small fairy named Wisp woke up, stretched her dewdrop wings, and began her nightly rounds.
She touched each flower closed for the night — tap, tap — and lit the fireflies one by one, soft and golden, so the dark was never too dark.
She hushed the wind to a whisper and tucked a sleepy breeze under the leaves.
When every creature in the meadow was settled, Wisp flew to one last window, sprinkled a little warm, sparkly calm over the pillow, and whispered, "Sweet dreams."
Then she settled into a curl of moonlight, folded her wings, and slept too. Goodnight.
How to tell a calming a gentle bedtime fairy bedtime story
- •Give the fairy a calming job (closing flowers, lighting soft lights) instead of an adventure.
- •Use the firefly 'night-lights' to reassure kids who don't like the dark.
- •End with the fairy herself going to sleep — your child follows the model.
