These stories have soft, quiet endings: a first tooth tucked in for the night mail, a hedgehog curling up in a bed of leaves, sails glowing on the ferry ride home, a snowy valley so still you can hear your own heartbeat.
Turn on the narration and cuddle up while the story is read aloud, or read it together at your own pace. Each book is ten pages, a good size for one last story before lights out.
