A story about Bedtime
for your 1st Grader.

Sofia, a shy little girl who loved rainbows, was finding it hard to sleep. She tossed and turned in her bed, her mind filled with thoughts of the day. Her mother had always told her, 'A good night's sleep is the key to a happy day, Sofia.'

One night, as Sofia lay awake, she found herself in a magical land of endless rainbows in her dream. She looked around in awe, her eyes wide with wonder. 'Wow, this is amazing!' she exclaimed.

Suddenly, she heard a soft whimper. Turning around, she saw a lost unicorn who also couldn't sleep. 'Hello, I'm Sofia. Why can't you sleep?' she asked the unicorn.

The unicorn replied, 'I need to find the Sleeping Star. It's said to grant peaceful sleep. But I don't know where it is.' Sofia, feeling brave, decided to help the unicorn.

They set off on their adventure, their hearts filled with hope. But soon, they found themselves in a labyrinth of stardust. 'Oh no, how will we find our way?' Sofia wondered.

Sofia remembered her father's words, 'When you're lost, always follow your heart, Sofia.' So, she closed her eyes and listened to her heart. It led them out of the labyrinth.

Just when they thought their journey was going smoothly, a thunderstorm cloud appeared. It was angry and causing chaos. 'We need to calm it down,' Sofia said.

Sofia remembered her grandmother's advice, 'Kind words can calm any storm, Sofia.' So, she spoke softly to the cloud, 'We mean no harm. We're just looking for the Sleeping Star.'
