Description

A Goodnight Neighbourhood story about a little cloud looking for somewhere to sleep.

When the sky turns the colour of blueberry jam, a little cloud named Wisp needs somewhere to sleep. The bakery roof is too warm, the old oak is too busy, the duck pond is too crowded and the clock tower is far too noisy. Just as Wisp is feeling small and cold, the Moon turns out to keep something extra, just in case.

It is a gentle bedtime read-aloud with a repeating line for little listeners to join in. At the back, a parent conversation card has five easy questions to talk about after reading; there are no right answers and any of them can be skipped. The card is for conversation and fun, not a sleep programme.

What's included. 24 story pages (493 words, about 4 to 6 minutes to read aloud) for ages 3 to 6, plus a parent conversation card. You get a screen PDF of 15 pages (covers and double-page spreads) for reading on a tablet or computer, and a printable PDF of 26 pages including covers, in both US Letter and A4. English. Digital download; nothing is shipped.

Licence. Household Licence: read, view and print it at home for the people you live with. Not for classroom sharing, resale or print-on-demand, and please don't share the files. Written and illustrated by Brainfy Studio, created with AI assistance.

Who it's for: Parents, grandparents and carers reading aloud to children aged 3 to 6 at home.
