Dragon sets out on a forest walk to find every color of the rainbow. What bright will Dragon discover?Narrator: FemaleStory Begins: 3:25Dragon’s Rainbow Walk Excerpt:Looking down, Dragon saw tiny purple flowers growing close to the ground in a patch of sunlight. They were a deep, rich violet. Overhead, the pale blue sky was visible between tree branches laden with leaves ranging from lime green to deep emerald. Shades of green throughout the forest were especially plentiful. Deep green pine needles, lemony-green grasses, and sage green patches of moss dotted the landscape.Dragon was inspired by the beautiful colors and decided that today, it would be fun to search for all the colors in the rainbow, since they already had seen purple, blue, and green.Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.Creating the original bedtime stories and art for Be Calm on Ahway Island takes a lot of time and care.As a listener-supported podcast, we truly appreciate our members on Patreon.

Soledad Sparrow’s day doesn’t go as she planned, but Gus Goldfinch helps her cheer up.Narrator: FemaleStory Begins: 3:12Singing Sparrow Excerpt:There were many berry bushes in the forest, but Soledad usually went to the same one, a large blueberry bush not far from the edge of the forest. The bush had extra tasty berries, and it sat in a patch of lush green grass. Ever since she had first discovered this bush, Soledad had come back to it again and again. Soledad liked routines and knowing what to expect.Once she was in the forest, Soledad flew along the stream, following it to that special blueberry bush. She soon reached the bush…but when she arrived, she quickly saw that there wasn’t a single blueberry left on it! Soledad flew all around the bush, but she didn’t see any berries at all. How strange! She had been at the bush just a few days ago. There hadn’t been tons of berries then, but there had definitely been some left. What could have happened to them? Soledad frowned. Perhaps someone else ate the blueberries.Today’s Meditation: Relax as you imagine sunlight warming you as you lie in a grassy meadow.Creating the original bedtime stories and art for Be Calm on Ahway Island takes a lot of time and care.As a listener-supported podcast, we truly appreciate our members on Patreon.

He and the bees had made an appointment for Bernie to come get some honey today.The honey bees were always so kind to him, Bernie thought as he walked through the forest, the sun shining through the branches of the tall, green pine trees and the shorter red maple trees.

Narrator: Male Story Begins: 3:47 Sleepy Sharks Excerpt: Shayla Shark felt the cool water glide past her fins as she swam in a circle around her favorite coral arch.

But tonight, Shayla did not feel sleepy at all. In fact, she felt wide awake. Each time she tried to close her eyes, they popped right back open again.

Oscar Oven worries when the Parker family tries to bake cookies without a recipe. How will they turn out?Narrator: FemaleStory Begins: 4:01Ahway Adventure Cookies Excerpt:“I know. I’m sorry. I forgot,” Emily repeated. “Is there anything we can make tonight?” she asked, voice full of hope.Mr. Parker walked over to the pantry, opened the door, and looked inside. “Let’s see what we have. Maybe we can still figure something out.”Oscar felt his excitement leaving and worry creeping in. Baking usually required exact measurements and ingredients. It needed a plan.
