It's nighttime in the forest, but Little Sparrow isn't sleepy. He wishes he could go for a nighttime fly like the owls, take a nighttime stroll like Fluffy Skunk, or have a nighttime meal like the baby bunnies. He wishes he could do anything but go to bed! Will Little Sparrow ever snuggle in and fall asleep?
In this dreamy bedtime story, children will enjoy imagining along with Little Sparrow. Listen along for acoustic guitar, flute, clarinet, soprano saxophone, and mandolin. And enjoy a little bonus music at the end for this extra-sleepy tale.
We'll see you in a couple weeks for another tale! (The next story we share will be our last episode for Season Two. Season Three premieres mid-January!)Stories written and narrated by Rachel Boyd
