A bedtime story for curious kids about day, night, and our great spinning Earth. When the sun slips slowly down below the hills at the very end of the day, where exactly does it go to lay its head and sleep? From the deck of the Boat-Cabin, Marin and Plume make up their minds to follow its warm golden trail, all the way to the far side of the world.

Over the course of this great big journey, our two explorers come to understand something wonderfully reassuring. The sun does not go out at night, not at all, and it is never truly gone away. It simply travels onward to say a bright good morning to the children on the other side of the Earth, and it will come back round to your own window again, faithfully, every single tomorrow morning. The further they follow that golden trail, the more they understand how the whole wide world takes its turns. They sail on after that golden glow, picturing all the children far away just waking up to its light. On and on the golden glow leads them, around the curve of the world, toward a brand new morning somewhere far away.

Marin learns that night-time is not the sun disappearing for good, but only our great big planet gently turning, and that morning is always, always on its way back, no matter how dark and deep the night may sometimes feel.

This is a gentle, soothing story about the day, the night, and the slow, steady turning of our planet, made to reassure a child and help them close their eyes feeling safe and sure. It is a soothing little story about the rhythm of day and night, made to settle a worried mind.

It is the perfect story for any little one who finds the dark a little worrying, a calm and steady reminder that the light always comes back again in the end.

A screen-free audio story for children ages 3 to 5, lovely at bedtime, at nap time, or in the car. As always with Tilibou, the ending stays soft and quiet, without music, so your child can drift off peacefully. 🐳
