Looking for a calming bedtime story for kids?
Where the River Waits is a gentle read aloud about busy thoughts, quiet rivers, and the comfort of coming home. When Mole can't seem to settle, he steps outside and discovers that the world is not as hurried as his worries feel. Along the river, with his friends (and a space saved just for you) he slowly finds his way back to calm.
Perfect for:
- Bedtime routines
- Children with busy or anxious thoughts
- Quiet family read-aloud moments
- Wind-down time before sleep
With soft watercolor illustrations and soothing language, this story is part of the Quiet Stories at Night series-designed to help children settle, breathe, and rest.
