Description

A bedtime story for children. Here is Emma's room: a Big Bed, a round little rug, and a window with a curtain that breathes. On the shelf, three friends wait for evening: Pantin, all made of wood, Ball, all round, and Nina, standing up straight. And in Emma's arms, there is Mochi, her lovey. During the day, Mochi never talks: he watches and listens.

At the park, Emma builds a sand tower, so tall. Then she slips. The tower crumbles, her knee gets a little boo-boo, and her heart gets a big sorrow. Mom comes running and holds Emma very tight, and Emma holds Mochi even tighter. A kiss on the boo-boo, a kiss on the heart, and the tears stop, one by one. Right against her, Mochi's heart goes poc-poc. He has just kept this cuddle for tonight.

At bedtime, Emma snuggles into the Big Bed. Mom gives her the lighthouse kiss, the one that stays lit all night long, and Emma falls asleep in the middle of her word. Then the room changes: the nightlight turns into a little moon, the rug into a soft island. This is the Evening World. Mochi opens his eyes, says good evening to his three friends, and opens his heart like a little door. Inside is the Cuddle Box, full of golden yarn balls, one for every cuddle received. Mochi picks the most beautiful one, a cuddle from last summer on the beach with Mom, and wraps it around the sorrow of the sand tower.

This lovey story for toddlers shows your child that a cuddle received yesterday can still comfort today. It also gives simple words to comfort after a fall: first a big hug, then the sorrow gets put away. This is the founding episode of the collection: the Evening World, the shelf hello, the Cuddle Box, the lighthouse kiss and Mochi's little phrase, "A lovey keeps all the cuddles inside," all start here, and they come back in every story.

Then the Evening World goes to bed. Pantin falls asleep in the middle of a story from back in his day, like every night. Ball gives one very last boing, and Nina lies down, very dignified. Mochi climbs back into Emma's arms, and his heart slows down: poc-poc, poc-poc, poc, poc. In the morning, Emma hugs Mochi very tight. The sorrow is gone, put away and kept warm. The sand tower? She'll build it again, another day.

No one tells Emma that a fallen tower is nothing, and no one hurries her tears. Mom holds her first, and the Evening World puts the sorrow away afterwards, with an old cuddle for a brand new sorrow: this way of taking a small child's big feelings seriously is the whole spirit of Tilibou bedtime stories. And all the while, the Big Bed goes crrriii, softly, like an old wooden friend.

A screen-free lovey story for children from age 2, perfect to enjoy warm and cozy at bedtime, in the car, or before a nap. As always with Tilibou, the ending stays soft and quiet, without music, so your child can drift off to sleep without waking anyone up. 🧸

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.
