STORY TITLE: Lily and the Sleepy Moon OPENING SCENE: In a little cottage at the edge of a soft green meadow, where fireflies blinked like tiny lanterns, a little girl named Lily was getting ready for bed. The sky outside her window had turned the most beautiful shade of purple and gold. MAIN CHARACTER: Lily had curly brown hair, rosy cheeks, and the softest pajamas covered in little yellow stars. She always kept her favourite stuffed rabbit, called Hop, tucked under her arm at bedtime. GENTLE ADVENTURE: PAGE 1: Lily looked out her window and saw the moon looking tired. "Moon," she whispered, "are you sleepy too?" The moon blinked slowly and nodded, scattering silver light across the meadow like soft, gentle snow. PAGE 2: Lily decided to help the moon get ready for sleep. She tiptoed outside in her star pajamas, Hop under her arm. The grass was cool and soft beneath her feet. The fireflies danced quietly around her. PAGE 3: Together they gathered the last little stars that were still awake and tucked them gently into the sky. Each star yawned and blinked. One by one they closed their eyes and began to glow softly, warmly, quietly. PAGE 4: The moon smiled at Lily. A slow, warm smile. Lily felt her eyes growing heavy. The meadow was so quiet now. So still. So soft. So safe. PAGE 5: Lily walked back inside slowly. Her feet felt sleepy. Her arms felt sleepy. Even Hop felt sleepy. SLEEPY TURNING POINT: Lily climbed into her warm bed. The pillow was soft. The blanket was cozy. The moon shone gently through the window like a soft nightlight just for her. DREAMY ENDING: Lily closed her eyes. Hop was tucked in beside her. The stars were asleep. The moon was asleep. And slowly, softly, peacefully — Lily was asleep too. Just like you.
