Summary
Having trouble falling asleep? Try listening to a relaxing bedtime story! Tonight's episode is a lovely tale by Richard Leander called The Invisible Kingdom. This charming story reminds us that things aren't always as they seem. Instead of background music, this story has soothing rain sounds and the occasional sound of thunder softly in the background to help enhance the feeling of cozy storytelling relaxation as you listen. The rain sounds continue for a few extra moments after the story ends and then they gently fade away. So let's get sleepy together! Settle in under the covers and snuggle up tight...I wish you the sweetest dreamzzz my friend and a peaceful good night!
