Bedtime Stories: Stella and the Star that Came to Tea
The Reading Bug Podcast - Original Adventures, Bedtime Stories and Music for KidsShow Notes
Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories
On an otherwise ordinary Tuesday night, a very sensible nine-year-old named Stella hears a small tap on her bedroom window — and discovers a tiny, glowing star named Fig, hopelessly lost after his navigation chart got soaked in a cloud. Over a warm cup of tea and a well-worn star atlas, Stella sets out to help her unexpected visitor find his way home. Together they climb to the rooftop, where the whole sky opens up above them, and Fig finally spots the Pleiades — his cluster of seven sisters — glimmering near the horizon. Before he rises back into the night, he makes Stella a quiet promise: look for the second star from the left, and he'll blink twice, just for her.

Why do leaves turn red and orange and gold every fall — and where do those colors actually come from? Join Lauren and the Fact Fly (frozen in front of a glowing maple tree, convinced everything he learned about plants needs rearranging) as they investigate the hidden science of autumn color. It turns out the yellows and oranges were there all summer long, hiding behind the green — and fall doesn’t add color to a leaf. It reveals the colors that were already there.
