Description

A bedtime story for curious kids about seeing the world in a brand new way. When the rain comes pattering softly down across the wide-open sea, what on earth becomes of all the fish swimming far, far below? Snug and warm and dry inside the Boat-Cabin, Marin and Plume listen to the drops drumming overhead and slowly start to wonder.

Off they go, down into the cool blue depths, for a curious and refreshing little plunge beneath the waves. And there they make a truly lovely discovery: rain, when you watch it from underneath the water, looks just exactly like a beautiful, shimmering music of pearls falling and dancing all around you. It is more than enough to make you look at a grey, drizzly day in a completely different light. The deeper they dive, the more beautiful the falling rain becomes, until the grey day feels almost magical. They drift among the calm and curious fish, watching the surface ripple and sparkle high above them. All around them, the fish carry on calmly, quite at home in their cool blue world while the rain drums above.

Marin learns that even the gloomiest, greyest weather hides something quietly wonderful when you simply change where you happen to be standing, and that there is beauty to be found almost everywhere, if only you are curious enough to go and look for it.

This is a discovery story for watching the world from a fresh new angle, just perfect for rainy days and quiet, cosy evenings tucked up at home. It is a curious little story that gently teaches a child to find the beauty in even a rainy day.

It leaves a child with a gentle, hopeful idea to keep close: that even rainy days are full of small wonders, if you only know how to look at them.

A screen-free audio story for children ages 3 to 5, lovely at bedtime or nap time, at home or in the car. As always with Tilibou, the ending stays soft and quiet, without music, so your child can drift off peacefully. 🐳

About Tilibou: Bedtime Stories for Kids · Calm Sleep Stories for Toddlers

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.

There is Nino the Little Firefighter and his dog Pompon, the smallest firefighter at the Bellhill fire station, for firefighter stories for kids where everyone helps and nothing is ever scary: a cat up a tree, a ball on the school roof, a sheep stuck in a hedge, and a gentle fire truck siren that rocks children to sleep instead of waking them.

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.
