Flicker and the Sleepy Forest

A story about Nap Time

for your Preschooler.

Flicker Sparkleaf stands beneath tall, glowing trees. In the background, bright flowers sway.

In the Sleepy Forest lived an elf named Flicker Sparkleaf. Flicker loved to hop, skip, and explore. She never liked to stop. She never liked to rest!

The wise old owl peeks from a leafy perch. In the background, gentle vines curl.

Every day, the forest was filled with soft, whispering breezes. The wise old owl watched from a high branch and blinked slowly.

Flicker Sparkleaf and the wise old owl gaze at each other with wide eyes. In the background, soft feathers drift.

One day, Flicker Sparkleaf heard the owl say, “At nap time, we find secret dreams. Do not miss them!” Flicker felt a happy tingle in her heart.

Flicker Sparkleaf tiptoes carefully around the owl’s branch. In the background, bright leaves rustle.

Flicker Sparkleaf wanted to see the forest at nap time. She tiptoed past the owl, hoping to sneak away for more adventure.

A shining puddle with soft, rainbow reflections. In the background, more puddles shimmer.

A shiny puddle sparkled in the sunlight. Tiny bubbles rose and popped on the water’s surface.

Flicker Sparkleaf rubs her tired eyes near the puddle. In the background, mossy stones glow.

Flicker Sparkleaf tried to leap over the puddle. But she yawned and nearly tumbled. She felt her eyes grow heavy.

The wise old owl stands beside Flicker Sparkleaf, wings gently folded. In the background, tall tree trunks stand peacefully.

The wise old owl glided close and said, “Take slow breaths, Flicker. Rest helps you grow strong.” Flicker pouted. She wanted more fun.

A glittering mushroom with a soft, glowing cap. In the background, tiny sparkles float.

A tall mushroom stood by the path, shining purple and gold. Little drops of dew trembled on its edges.
