Hello and welcome back to Koala Moon, your podcast of original children's bedtime stories

and meditations designed to make bedtime a dream.

Firstly and most importantly, welcome to Coco's Club to our newest recruits.

Hi and thank you for joining us Martha, Eleanor, whose birth there was recently.

Walker from Winnipeg, Blake, Daisy and Callie, Christie, Alice, who's just 10-9,

Eliza in Perth, Asher, Evie, Owen, Benson and Luna.

And happy Halloween from the UK.

As the nights close in and the daylight hours get shorter with each passing day,

we're all looking forward to soon carving some pumpkins.

We're going to like candles and maybe even sit by the warm glow of the fire telling stories and playing games.

For there's only one thing to do when it starts to get cold and dark outside,

and that is to get snugly with family and have fun with good friends.

Before we begin, a quick message for the grownups.
