Space & Star Bedtime Stories
Free bedtime stories about stars, the moon and gentle space adventures. Perfect calm-down tales for little stargazers at lights-out.
How the Stars Learned to Twinkle
Long ago the stars shone flat and still — until a curious little star discovered that a gentle wink is how the sky says goodnight.
Luna and the Lost Star
When a little star tumbles out of the night sky, a kind girl named Luna helps it find its way home — and learns that helping others shines brightest of all.
Star Catcher Sam
A little girl climbs to the top of the tallest hill to catch a star for her lonely little brother, and learns that the best gifts are the ones we give away.
The Northern Lights' Secret
A little arctic fox stays up to discover where the dancing colors in the sky come from, and learns they are the dreams of sleeping children, glowing bright.
The Moon Who Couldn't Sleep
The Moon stays up all night watching over the world — until a small child teaches her that she can rest too, tucked behind the softest cloud.
The Night the Toys Fixed the Moon
When the moon's light starts to flicker like a loose bulb, a brave crew of bedroom toys launches a rocket built of blocks to climb up and fix it.
