Wind in the Tall Grass — printable bedtime picture book (ages 2-5)
A slow-and-sleepy bedtime story. The sun slips down behind the meadow, and the wind comes walking through the tall, tall grass. Comb… and lay… and still.
When the sun slips down behind the meadow, the wind comes walking through the tall grass — comb… and lay… and still. Page by page it combs the grass a little flatter, while Thistle the rabbit lays down her ears, Sorrel the fox curls into a ball, Hazel the owl smooths her feathers and the Moon pulls a thin cloud up to his chin. Every page repeats one gentle rhythm and slows it a little more, until the grass lies still. A calming wind-down story for ages 2–5, made for the last few minutes before sleep.
