Welcome back to another story from the book Poppy's Magical Animal Adventures,

A cozy and calming sleep story for kids and their parents.

Let's relax and listen to Poppy.

Walking happily along,

Poppy notices a beautiful bush with shiny yellow flowers and then something else moving through the air,

A butterfly.

As Poppy walks closer to the butterfly,

She hears her tiny voice singing,

Do you want to know a secret?

Poppy nods with a smile.

The butterfly whispers in Poppy's ear,

I started my life as a tiny egg before I became a caterpillar,

Eating a lot of leaves.

Then a silky blanket surrounded me called a chrysalis that protected me while I was growing and changing.

All of my struggles in the chrysalis hardened my wings and were necessary for me to grow strong and turn from a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly.

It takes time and patience to grow.

The butterfly lands on Poppy's nose for just a moment and smiles.

She says,

Remember that you always have the power to grow and change,

Always.

Thank you,

Butterfly,

Says Poppy with a smile.

Let your body feel calm and cozy like a warm,

Soft cloud as you drift into peaceful,

Happy dreams.

I hope you enjoyed the wisdom of the butterfly,

Who told Poppy that she always has the power to grow and change.

Poppy says night night,

Sweet dreams,

Woof woof.
