Rain on the Boat Roof — printable bedtime picture book (ages 2-5)
A slow-and-sleepy bedtime story. Down in the little harbor, a small boat rocks on its rope. Warm rain begins to tap the roof. Drop… and drop… and dream.

Down in the little harbor, a small boat rocks on its rope while warm rain taps the roof — drop… and drop… and dream. Every drop is one friend closing an eye: Pebble the crab on the deck, the little fish below, Old Tuck the turtle by the rope, and at last the Moon, who pulls a rain cloud up to his chin. Every page repeats one gentle rhythm and slows it a little more, with soft breathe-in, breathe-out cues along the way. A calming wind-down story for ages 2–5, made for the last few minutes before sleep.
