Summary

My Little Hedgehog picture book is out now! Find it by searching for "Little Hedgehog Goes to School" on Amazon or by visiting THIS LINK. I hope you LOVE IT! This is a quiet, sleepy story perfect for bedtime. The main character is an abandoned house that has become the resting place not for people (as intended for all houses) but for hapless woodland creatures who seek refuge from the elements. The house gets a surprise when she hears voices on her porch. Soon a 'For Sale' sign is placed in the yard. Follow along as House relives her early days of life decades ago, and the new possibilities in her future once the sign goes up. What will happen when a couple decides to buy the house? You'll have to listen and find out. If you love this story, please share it with all mice scurrying through your basement, any and all realtors who wear bangles on their wrists, all sleepy raccoons, and your friends! They might just need a good story these days. Big People: leave a rating or review in your podcast app! If your tiny person wants to share a story they've written, please send photos or recordings of it to [email protected]. I'd LOVE to see their artwork, stories, and anything else they'd like to share. Thank you to ULRICK for helping me with the reminder message at the beginning of this episode! And thank you to NORA, ROWAN, CHARLOTTE, INDIE, TENNY, MALACHI, FAYE, and HENRY for the super important sound effects!

0:00.0	Big people listen up. This message is for you. My new picture book, Little
0:07.2	Hedgehog Goes to School, is available now. You can get a copy for your family
0:13.5	bookshelf by visiting LittleStoriesTinyPeople.com forward slash books or by
0:21.3	searching for Little Hedgehog Goes to School on Amazon. I hope you love it. Now
0:28.0	on to the show.
0:37.7	This is Rhea. Welcome to Little Stories for Tiny People. Our story today is
0:45.0	perfect for bedtime. It has a slow pace and a heartfelt theme. And it's main
0:54.4	character doesn't really move a whole lot. So settle in beneath your weighted
1:02.2	blanket and close your eyes and listen to our tale. I don't know if you'll be
1:11.8	able to stay awake until the end, but you won't regret it if you do. It's called
1:19.6	The Story of a House. Take it away Ulrich. Remember there are no pictures. You can imagine
1:31.6	the pictures. You mind. You can imagine them. Wherever you walk. Okay, let's go.
1:41.6	This is the story of a house. You may know this house. Not this exact house, but you
1:54.2	likely know of a house just like this one. Once I describe it to you, you might turn
2:01.5	to the person next to you and nod knowingly, saying, I do know that house. There's one
2:08.5	in nearly every place that has houses. Most of the other houses on the block are tidy.
2:16.0	If there's a patch of grass out front, it's trimmed once in a while. If there are trees,
2:22.8	they grow leaves in the springtime. At 4 a.m., there is usually a car tucked against the
2:30.3	curb or a motorcycle in the shed. When it comes to most houses, there is a clear separation
2:39.9	between the house and the flora and fauna surrounding it. If there are animals inside these
2:48.7	houses, they were invited there by people. Perhaps most importantly, nearly every other
2:55.7	house, even if the grass is not trimmed, or the tree out front does not spring leaves.
