Sample story
Milo and the Watching Stars
Milo the tiny bear looked at his room. It was dark. Milo felt a little wiggly. Mama Bear held Milo close. “Let’s look at the stars,” she said. Milo blinked at the window. Softly, softly, the stars began to glow. “One star for calm,” Mama Bear whispered. “Two stars for cozy.” “Three stars for sleepy.” Milo took a slow breath. His paws got heavy. His eyes got warm. And Milo learned bedtime wasn’t scary—because the stars were watching over him. He cuddled his blanket. He listened to the quiet. And Milo fell asleep.
