Description

A bedtime story for curious kids about the tiny, secret world all around us. When night falls over the garden and everything goes still and quiet, where on earth do all the butterflies go to hide themselves away and sleep? That is the question buzzing softly around the minds of Marin and Plume tonight, as they sit together aboard the Boat-Cabin watching the day slowly fade away.

So begins a gentle little investigation, from flower to leaf to single blade of grass, as the two friends tiptoe quietly about to discover just where the very tiniest folk of the garden tuck themselves safely away for the night. And as they search, a soft and sleepy thought begins to settle over them both: perhaps, just like the butterflies, it is very nearly time to fold up your own wings and rest. The whole garden, it seems, is quietly getting ready for bed, each tiny creature finding its own snug little hideaway. They peek beneath leaves and behind petals, careful not to disturb a single sleeping little wing. The longer they search, the more snug little sleepers they find, each one tucked safely away for the night.

Marin learns that the whole garden has its own quiet bedtime, just like he does. Every small creature finds its own safe little corner to curl up in, and going to sleep, it turns out, is simply what the world itself does when night arrives.

This is a wonder-filled discovery story about the miniature world living right under our noses, made for watching nature closely and slipping softly off toward sleep. It is a gentle, drowsy little story that turns watching nature into a soft path toward sleep.

It is the kind of calm, drowsy story that helps a child feel part of something much bigger, settling down for the night along with the whole sleepy garden.

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 settle down calmly. 🐳

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.

💡 Perfect for the bedtime ritual: listen together, more than once.
