Get Sleepy: Rainy Stories
Narrated by Thomas Jones
Get Sleepy: Rainy Stories bundles ten gentle bedtime tales, written by the show's own writers and set against the sound of falling rain.
Rain runs under the reading in every story, with soft music beside it, so the mood holds even when the setting changes from a bakery to a rainforest. Travel, nature, and animal stories make up most of the ten, with one classic folktale among them, and none of them rushes anywhere. They are built to settle your thoughts, not to build toward a big finish.
There's a meditative walk in a woodland, a quiet day in a cozy bakery, and a hike through a rainforest in southeast Alaska. A curious little cat sets off on her own small adventure, a farmer dreams a strange and magical dream, and someone takes a walk through the Irish countryside. There's also a visit to a seaside town with old-fashioned charm, a cup of tea taken slowly, a search for a beautiful flower in Hawai'i, and a look at the wildlife of a valley called Enchanted.
It is paced for restless nights and anxious minds, which is how the listing pitches it: for calming a nervous head before bed, and for the nights when a routine is the only thing that works. It is also made for the kind of person who opens a window in a storm on purpose. Thomas Jones reads each one low, his voice never rising above the rain. Start anywhere in the ten. The rain outlasts you either way.
