I'm Allison.
Happy Throwback Thursday, friends!
Yes, for today's Throwback Thursday, we are traveling all the way back in time to read a timeless story about a love that will follow you anywhere.
Our StoryBeam is shining a light on a cozy classic, The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown.
Wherever he goes, his mommy finds him.
She sure does.
No matter if he becomes a fish in a trout stream or a rock on a mountain, his mother is always there to care for him.
Just like I will always be there to care for you.
Aww.
Let's snuggle up and read this beautiful tale together.
Yay!
Let's get our ears on.
I've got mine.
Ready?
Three, two, one, let's read!

There's the little babies, and they're like in the moonlight,
and they're like in their little hole underground.
What a beautiful reminder that a parent's love is always there to protect you,
no matter where your imagination takes you.
Co-host, if you were playing a game of hide and seek outside right now,
where would your dream hiding spot be?
I would hide somewhere like in a garden.
I would hide under like moss and I would cover myself up with flowers.
That sounds like an excellent spot. That's so beautiful.
But you know, I'd always find you to give you just a great big hug.
Grown-ups, to keep the classic bedtime cozy vibes going,
our StoryBeam suggestion for your library bag is a companion classic,
Goodnight Moon, also by Margaret Wise Brown.
It is the ultimate soothing story to wrap up a busy day.
Look for it in our show notes.

After the story
Kat's line: a parent's love is always there, wherever your imagination takes you. A good one for a clingy night.
If you were playing a game of hide and seek outside right now, where would your dream hiding spot be?
The bunny kept changing into something new. What would you turn into?
Who always finds you?
