When a curious young mouse named Toby wanders in and wonders why anyone would bother keeping a pile of old junk, Silas places a small sky-blue button in his paw and asks him to look with his heart instead of his eyes. What follows is a quiet afternoon of stories, including a tiny silver bell that once told the flowers spring was coming, and a brand-new brass safety pin bent into the shape of a heart — proof that the library is never quite finished. 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.","meta_description":"Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories In the sun-warmed corner of a weathered garden shed, an elder Thistle-Mouse named Silas tends to a very special collection…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1039,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-reading-bug-podcast-original-adventures-bedtime-stories-and-music-for-kids-590759/episodes/bedtime-story-silas-and-the-library-of-lost-buttons/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reading-bug-podcast-original-adventures-bedtime-stories-and-music-for-kids-590759/bedtime-story-silas-and-the-library-of-lost-buttons.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
