Description

A bedtime adventure for children, silly and tender all at once. Hic! In the kingdom of Tournebois, a poor little cloud has caught the hiccups, and with every single "hic" it lets loose a sudden surprise downpour. Into the brass band's tuba, splash. Onto the basket of warm, fresh croissants, splash. And then right inside a sleepy guard's boot, splash again.

Leo and Pistache set off on a hunt for the silliest, most far-fetched cure imaginable to soothe this drippy little case of the hiccups. Drink water upside down, give the cloud a friendly little fright, hold your breath and count slowly to ten, they try absolutely everything they can possibly think of, to the great delight of the whole watching crowd and plenty of helpless, rolling laughter. The whole kingdom joins in, offering its own daft suggestions, until the chase after a cure becomes the funniest part of all. No matter how soggy things get, the two friends keep their good humour and never once give up on the poor little cloud.

Through all the soggy mishaps and the puddles, the kingdom never once loses its good humour, and the little cloud is treated with patience and gentleness rather than any crossness. In the end, it is a warm hug and a shared giggle that work far better than any clever remedy at all.

This is a funny, gentle adventure, full of gags and kindness from the very first "hic" to the very last. Perfect for ending the day with a smile and a calmer, lighter heart. It is a story where being gentle and a little bit silly turns out to be exactly the right answer.

Beneath all the laughs, it quietly shows that the kindest way to help someone who is struggling is with patience, not impatience. A cheerful, soft story to ease into the night.

A screen-free audio adventure for children from age 5, lovely at bedtime or on a car trip. As always with Tilibou, the ending settles softly, without music, so your child can drift off peacefully. 🐉

About Tilibou: Bedtime Stories for Kids

Welcome to Tilibou, a premium audio storytelling label for children aged 2 to 5: gentle bedtime stories crafted to accompany the moment of sleep, help little ones calm down and drift off peacefully. Every episode is a small evening ritual, to listen to together, tucked up in bed.

Tilibou's promise is simple: stories to fall asleep, dream and grow. The ending is always entirely spoken, in a soft fade, with no music, so the child falling asleep is never woken at the most delicate moment. No advertising, no screens and no collection of children's data: an experience designed for families, respectful and reassuring.

Each story lasts 10 to 20 minutes and is told with a warm, gentle voice, wrapped in discreet soundscapes, such as the forest at night, rain, a stream or a crackling fire, that cradle the tale without ever covering it. The stories are about emotions, little fears to tame, courage, friendship and wonder, with simple words and poetic images suited to the very young.

The world of Tilibou unfolds across several universes, each with its own atmosphere and characters. There is Noisette, the little bear of the evening, who helps name emotions and get ready for sleep, from age 2. There are Léo and Pistache, a small knight and his slightly scaredy dragon, who set off on adventures in search of courage. There are Cassie and Tornado, an energetic cowgirl and her placid pony, for the funniest stories of the West. There are Marin and Plume, a boy and his seagull who explore nature at a child's eye level. There is Tom the Pirate and his crew, sailing from island to island with gentle, never-scary adventures. And there are the seasonal collections: Christmas stories, funny and not-at-all-scary Halloween stories, and preschool stories to support the first steps at school.

Tilibou comes in several languages, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Italian: the same gentleness and the same characters, to fall asleep anywhere in the world. A little creature of the night, Tilibou, introduces and accompanies every story with its star-shaped lantern.

Whether for the bedtime ritual, a calm moment in the afternoon or a long journey, Tilibou offers parents a precious ally: beautiful stories to listen to, ad-free and screen-free, that help children relax, dream and fall asleep with a smile. Good night and sweet dreams with Tilibou.
