Maria’s Personalized Bedtime Story

Maria pulled her soft, fuzzy blanket up to her chin and looked out her window at the twinkling stars. The whole world outside was quiet and still, like everyone was waiting for something special to happen. Maria smiled and closed her eyes, letting the warm smell of cinnamon from the kitchen wrap around her like a hug.

Just as Maria began to drift off to sleep, a tiny glowing butterfly landed on her pillow and whispered that it had come to show her the secret garden where dreams are born.
