Welcome back to StoryBeam, the daily podcast where imagination shines bright.
I'm Kat.

It is time for Sunday Sparkle, our favorite time to get extra cozy,
curl up under the blankets, and drift away into a peaceful world of wonder.
Today, our StoryBeam is shining a warm snuggly light on Sleepy Happy Cappy Cuddles by Mike Allegra.
Cappy is a capybara that gives the best cuddles in the whole jungle.
He really does.
Cappy loves snuggling with all his animal friends,
from tiny birds to heavy tapirs, helping everyone wind down,
relax, and get ready for a deep, cozy sleep.
Let's snuggle up and join Cappy for some cuddles.
Let's get our ears on.
I've got mine ready.
Three, two, one, let's read!

What a cozy heartwarming way to end our week.
It reminds us that there's nothing quite like a warm hug
and a quiet moment to wrap up a busy day.
Co-host, who would you give a big cappy cuddle to
before going to sleep tonight?
I'd say Bobby and Daddy.
Because they're my favorite ever.
Aww.
A big bedtime cuddle is the sweetest way to say goodnight.
Your cuddles are the best cuddles ever.
Grown-ups.
To keep this snuggly peaceful mood going
as your little ones drift off to sleep,
our StoryBeam suggestion for tonight is
Sleep Like a Tiger by Mary Logue.
A beautifully reassuring bedtime story
about a little child who discovers
that every single creature in the whole wide world sleeps.
And tonight it is their turn.
Look for it in our show notes.
