The Bear Who Counted Stars

Barnaby Quill

A bear climbs a hill, lies back in the grass, and tries to count every star in the sky until his eyes grow heavy and the numbers turn into dreams. Barnaby Quill's bedtime story moves at the speed of a slowing heartbeat, ideal for children four to seven who fight sleep or fear the dark. Sadie Bracken's narration is soft as a held breath, with pauses that let small listeners sink into their pillows. No sudden noises, no rush to finish, just the quiet pleasure of losing count and letting go.
