Summary
Welcome to your sleepy bedtime story! Tonight's episode is a lovely Native American Folktale called "The Celestial Sisters" (aka White Hawk). I tell the story 2x and the second time is a bit slower and a bit softer to help you get sleepy. Also, instead of background music, this story has soothing crackling fire sounds in the background to help enhance the feeling of cozy storytelling relaxation as you listen. The sounds continue after the story ends for a few extra seconds and then they gently fade away. So settle in under the covers and snuggle up tight...sweet dreamzzz and good night!
