Summary
Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories In the Meadow of Starfall, every unicorn's horn does something magical — sparks, light, warmth, blooming flowers. Every unicorn's except Opal's, whose horn plays music when she touches things. Just a few soft notes. Just a song. When the whole herd gathers for the Grand Gleaming, the annual celebration of horn magic, Opal's melody gets polite smiles and moves on. Her enthusiastic hedgehog friend Thorn keeps rolling into things and insisting she's wrong about herself. Then a baby bird falls from its nest and every dazzling horn in the meadow only frightens it further — and Opal discovers, in the quietest possible way, that making something feel safe is the most powerful magic there is. Every Lauren's Little Bedtime Story includes: Calming Relaxation: Gentle breathing exercises to help your body relax. Original Bedtime Lullaby: Wind-down time as Lauren sings you to sleep. A Full Original Bedtime Story: A whimsical story read aloud by Lauren.
