Sunday Sparkle - This Land Is a Lullaby

What the cast said

Welcome back to StoryBeam, the daily podcast where imagination shines bright.

I'm Kat.

I'm Allison.

Happy Sunday Sparkle, friends!

It is time for Sunday Sparkle!

Our favorite time to get peaceful, wrap up in a warm blanket.

Today, our StoryBeam is shining a peaceful light across northern skies as we read this

land is a lullaby by Tanya Simpson.

The prairie winds and stars sing you to sleep.

They really do!

Let's close our eyes and listen to the soothing sounds of the land, the grass, and the night

sky singing a sweet lullaby to the world.

Let's get our ears on.

I've got mine.

Ready?

Three, two, one, let's read!

Here the cast reads This Land Is a Lullaby by Tonya Simpson. The book's own words stay with its author and publisher, so that part of the recording is not written out. Press play to hear it.

What a tranquil beautiful story to bring week six to a close.

Nature has such a peaceful way of tucking us in when the sun goes down.

Co-host, what cozy bedtime sound helps you drift off into sweet dreams?

I think the noise of pretty birds.

That sound is so warm and comforting. That's true.

I love it when little birds sing us lullabies.

Yeah, their tweet is so pretty.

It sure is.

Grown-ups, to keep this peaceful atmosphere going as your little ones fall asleep,

our StoryBeam suggestion for tonight is

Owl Moon by Jane Yolen.

A quiet magical story about a child and their parent

walking through a snowy night looking for owls.

Pure poetry in picture book form. Look for it in our show notes.

Send us your favorite book request.

That's right. Send us your favorite book request in the comments

or send us an email.

Sleep tight under the starry sky.

Rest easy and dream beautiful dreams everyone.

Thank you for joining us for another week of magic on StoryBeam.

And don't forget, keep on reading!
