Hello, I'm Cheryl, and this is Sleep, Tight, Relax, a calming bedtime podcast for the young and young at

heart.

Our sleep story is the first part of a story about Little White Wing.

Little White Wing is a flamingo.

He is loved by his parents and grows up in a place with lots of other baby flamingos.

When all the flamingos start turning pink, little white wing stays white.

After a while, the king decides little white wing can no longer stay with them.

What will he do?

But before we continue with our story, let's turn down the lights.

Get cozy in your bed, close your eyes, and feel warm and secure.

Now that we have done that, let's use our imagination a little bit.

Let's imagine that you are blowing up a balloon every time you exhale.

You can make this balloon as big as you'd like and give it whatever color you want.

It could be rainbow colored or have animal prints all over it.

I would like you to take a great big breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth, blowing up your imaginary balloon.

This is no ordinary balloon. It's a balloon you can ride in.

Once you get it as big as you want,

it detaches from your mouth and it drifts slowly up into the sky,

taking you with it.

There is a strong breeze right now,

and your balloon drifts over the trees.

You can see your home, the street you live on.
