Show Notes

Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories

In a shimmering turquoise lagoon where the coral looks like underwater castles, a young sea turtle named Leilani is a slow traveler who prefers watching the clouds to rushing through the waves. When her grandmother tells her about the "Song of Ohana," Leilani embarks on a peaceful journey guided by the brightest star in the sky. With a little help from a wise golden-eyed owl and a forest of dancing moon jellyfish, Leilani discovers that the entire ocean is a beautiful, connected home.

Every Lauren's Little Bedtime Story includes:

Calming Relaxation: Gentle breathing exercises to help your body relax.

Original Bedtime Lullaby: Wind-down time as Lauren sings you to sleep .

A Full Original Bedtime Story: A whimsical story read aloud by Lauren.

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.
