Daisy the dinosaur was having a sleepover! Maya the mouse and Luca the rabbit were coming, and they’d brought pillows, blankets and teddies.
First, they built a blanket fort. Then they had a midnight feast of toasted marshmallows. Daisy laughed so much that her big tail knocked over the lamp.
Then it was time for bed. Daisy climbed into her big, comfy bed. ‘Goodnight,’ said Maya. ‘Goodnight,’ said Luca. The light went off, and the room became very dark.
Daisy lay awake. She thought about how very big and dark the night was. Her tail twitched. ‘Are you awake?’ whispered Maya. ‘I can’t sleep,’ said Daisy.
‘I can’t either,’ said Luca. ‘I have an idea,’ said Maya, and pulled out a little star lamp. The room filled with a warm, soft glow. The dark didn’t feel big anymore.
The three friends snuggled together, looking at the light until their eyes grew heavy. Soon, all that could be heard was three tiny snores. And one great big dino snore.
The little lesson
Sharing a little light and a lot of friendship makes the dark feel cosy.
Let’s talk about it
- What helps you feel safe at night?
