The Rabbit Who Wove a Sky Blanket – A Magical Bedtime Story About Comfort and Stars
Large text for little eyes.
In a quiet valley wrapped in tall, silver grass, there lived a rabbit named Rumi.
Rumi had the softest fur and the kindest heart, but each night as the stars came out, she noticed something sad.
“The sky feels colder lately,” she whispered, hugging herself under the moon. “Even the stars seem to shiver.”
Birds fluffed their feathers tighter. Crickets sang quieter. And little animals burrowed deeper into their nests.
Rumi couldn’t stop thinking about it. “What if,” she wondered, “I could make the night sky feel warm?”
She didn’t know how yet… but she began collecting ideas with every moonrise.
Finding Threads of Light
One evening, Rumi saw a shooting star leave behind a glowing strand like silk.
She blinked. It didn’t vanish. It twinkled in the grass like a string of silver yarn.
From that night on, she began collecting these threads; gathering moonlit whiskers, shimmer dust from moth wings, and golden curls from sun-warmed feathers.
She used her whiskers to tie tiny knots. Her paws were gentle like wind. And her heart beat with hope. “If I weave one square a night,” she thought, “maybe I’ll have a blanket big enough for the sky.”
The Blanket Begins to Glow
Rumi worked quietly behind a fallen log, night after night. The blanket grew with soft swirls of light, each stitch holding whispers of dreams.
Owls flew lower to peek.
Fireflies hovered close just to see.
And when the first piece was big enough, Rumi flung it high, and it floated!
It shimmered like dew on cobwebs, spread wide above the trees, and everything below felt just a little warmer.
“It’s working,” Rumi smiled, brushing her ear with a thread of moonbeam. Animals slept better. Night flowers opened wider. Even the stars blinked more brightly beneath her gentle creation.
A Gift That Covers the World
As weeks passed, the blanket stretched across the skies like a dream, woven quilt. It didn’t block the stars—it held them like pearls in velvet.
Each patch told a story:
– The moth who dreamed of light.
– The owl who forgot how to blink.
– The breeze who sang lullabies.
When Rumi finally rested under her favorite tree, the whole sky shimmered above her, stitched with care, kindness, and magic.
“Now no one will feel cold when they dream,” she whispered.“Not even the stars.”
And just before sleep took her, a soft thread floated down from the sky...another dream beginning. Because sometimes, the smallest paws weave the warmest skies.
The End !
