Description

In the Cosy Forest, the day is winding down and little Noisette the bear cub is tucked up in her round bedroom, high in the family tree-house. But tonight, when she peeks through her little porthole window, the moon has gone dark. There is no soft glow left to keep the shadows company, and the whole forest feels a touch too quiet. So Noisette gathers up her courage, slips out of her warm bed, and sets off through the sleeping woods to find the moon and bring it back.

With a tummy that feels a little tight, she walks between the tall, quiet trees, listening to the small sounds of the night, the creak of a branch, the hoot of an owl, the soft rustle of leaves overhead. Every shape looks bigger in the dark, and more than once she stops to take a breath before carrying on. Step by step, paw after paw, she keeps going anyway, because the moon is counting on her.

Along the way Noisette discovers something every child needs to hear at bedtime: you can be brave even when a part of you still feels a little bit scared. Courage is not about having no fear at all. It is about taking that next gentle step, holding someone's paw, or simply trusting that the dark is not as frightening as it first seems.

This is a tender sleep story, written to soothe the fear of the dark and turn a worried feeling into something softer and calmer. By the end of her walk, Noisette understands that the night is simply the world resting, the same way she soon will, and that the moon always finds its way home, just like she does.

At the very end, just like every evening in the Cosy Forest, Noisette takes three big breaths, her three magic breaths, and your child is warmly invited to breathe slowly along with her, to relax their body and let their eyelids grow heavy. It is a small, calming ritual that helps a little one let go of the day and ease toward sleep.

A screen-free audio story for toddlers from age 2, lovely to share at bedtime, in the car, or at nap time. As always with Tilibou, the ending stays soft and quiet, without music, so your child can drift toward sleep without anyone being startled awake. 🌙

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.
