In a cozy green bedroom, Amal hugged her teddy bear tightly. She wasn’t ready for bed.
Hug your teddy bear or pillow tightly.
Amal's mother, gentle and kind, knelt beside her. 'It's bedtime, sweetie,' she said with a smile.
Put on your kindest smile.
With a pout, Amal shook her head. 'No bedtime! I want to play,' Amal protested.
Shake your head like you disagree with something.
Her mother took her hand, whispering, 'But your toys need sleep too. Let's tuck them in.'
Pretend to tuck your toy into bed.
Together they placed each toy lovingly in the toy box, Amal's brows furrowed but interested.
Move your toys into their sleeping spots.
Once they were done, Amal's mother said, 'See, they're all cozy. Now it's your turn.'
Say 'Good night' to each of your toys.
Amal yawned, the room growing darker, and the stars outside shone brightly through the window.
Look out the window and find a star.
She climbed into bed, her mother tucking her in. The bed felt warm and comforting.
Pretend to climb into bed and snuggle in.
Amal's mother whispered stories of magical lands as Amal's eyelids grew heavy.
Close your eyes and listen to a story.
'Good night, my little star,' her mother kissed her forehead, and the room filled with love.
Blow a goodnight kiss.
The troubles of bedtime faded away as Amal drifted into dreams of adventure and play.
Rest your head and dream a happy dream.
In her dreams, Amal knew she could explore all night, and tomorrow, another day awaited her bright.
Smile as you sleep, ready for tomorrow's adventures.
