The sun has gone to sleep, and the moon begins to glow.
Luna found something that felt like the softest thing she had ever seen in her life.
(Parent: Gently pat your little one's hand.)
A cozy blanket, stitched with light, from tiny stars so small.
She wraps it around her shoulders now.
It's the warmest wrap of all.
(Parent: Trace a star shape on your child's palm.)
The day is ending, and the garden becomes quiet.
Luna walks slowly, and everything feels calm around her.
(Parent: Take a long, slow breath together.)
The garden becomes still, as if it is getting ready to sleep.
The leaves move gently with the breeze, making a soft sound.
(Parent: Whisper "hush-hush" very softly.)
Low in the grass, a tiny friend is waking from his nap.
His name is Pipkin.
Pipkin clicks his little legs and gives a gentle tap.
(Parent: Tap two fingers softly on the bed.)
Luna looks up at the sky, her blanket shining bright.
The stars above begin to dance and twinkle in the night.
(Parent: Point upward and wiggle your fingers slowly.)
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,.
There, at the highest place
like a diamond in the sky.
(Parent: Sing this verse in a very slow, sleepy whisper.)
Luna’s eyes are getting heavy; she’s ready for her bed.
With stars around her shoulders and dreams inside her head.
(Parent: Stroke your child's forehead gently.)
Goodnight garden, goodnight stars,
Goodnight, Pipkin, too.
The world is sleeping soundly now, and so, my love, are you.
(Parent: Kiss your child's cheek and whisper, "I love you.")
