Bedtime

In fog-soft Puddle Lane, solitary clockmaker Nola mends tiny household timepieces. When the town’s rhythms falter, she chooses hands-on repairs over a prestigious solo commission.

Etta, a patient night baker with a sourdough starter in a tiny hat, wakes to a courtyard that still hums from an evening rescue.

Nora returns from the garden with a small hush-seed and the quiet work of the night following her home. In a gentle evening with Mae, she places the seed beneath her pillow as a reminder of shared breath and steady company. The town’s nights soften as small rituals spread back through hedges and rooftops, and a slow, neighborly softness settles over her house.

Elio, a small child with a busy mind, discovers a quiet moonlit garden beyond his curtain where a dusk-blue bird, a patient tree, and a keeper of tiny seeds teach him simple rituals—naming a worry, tucking it into a seed, and a gentle hum—that make the night softer and sleep possible.

On a night when sleep will not come, a small child named Ivy discovers a tiny door beneath her windowsill that opens on a secret Night Garden. Drawn into a soft world of pillow-bridges, moss bowls, and a few gentle keepers, she follows a tender task: to return scattered comforts that make night gentle. As she gathers seeds and a steady glow she must also name the small frets that keep her awake and make a quiet promise she can live with.

Night-breath hush, a small girl climbs rooftops to coax a shy ribbon of light home. Mila carries a market-made pocket and pebble, a toy companion, and a cloud’s quiet help.

Gentle, patient, and wreathed in soft wonder, the story follows her final, tender steps toward Tess’s sleeping room.

Milo, a child who frets at night, finds a tiny fallen star on his windowsill. Over gentle evenings he gathers quiet practices—rooted breathing, backward counting, a purring companion, and small honest stories—and walks them up a moonlit hill to help the star find its place among the sky again.

Mira can't sleep in the new room: the noises are unusual, the shadows live in their own way. At night, her bed turns into a soft boat, and the Wisp moth leads her along the corridor, garden, and cloud bridge. Meeting the clock and Lalla the fox, Mira gathers "notes of silence" for a future lullaby.

Evening is too loud for Nora until a small glowing petal leads her into the Night Garden. Guided by a hush-bird and an old willow, she gathers the scattered pieces of a lost lullaby — a breath, a kindness, a remembered smile — and begins to mend the quiet around her pillow.

When the breeze that keeps Bluegull Cove alive falls silent, nine-year-old Timo seeks its path. Guided by a kitemaker’s gifts and a glow-winged moth, he braves the hushwood, meets a tortoise librarian of winds, and speaks with a lonely weaver of quiet. With patience and kindness, Timo brings the wind home and promises a daily hour of listening.
