Summary
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 4:32
Late, Late, Late Excerpt:
Henry stirred under the covers. He blinked sleepily, then stretched with a big yawn. He looked around. It was still pretty dark. That meant it was early. He still felt a little tired.
“Do you remember what day it is?” asked his mami.
Henry’s mind was still foggy from sleep, and it took him a moment to process what she’d said. And then he remembered: “The first day of choir!” Henry exclaimed.
Today’s Meditation: Relax as you imagine you are a baby penguin snuggled close to its papa.
