\nRickety Raft Excerpt:
\nIt was a sunny afternoon on Ahway Island. The rain had finally stopped, and the sky was a brilliant blue. The air was fresh, and the scent of blooming flowers filled the backyard of the Stein family home. The sun stretched across the lawn. Mike smiled as he looked out over the yard.\xa0 This was perfect weather for playing outside, and his friends Ian and Anora were here to share it with him!
\n
\nInside the house, Mike\u2019s dad was finishing up the dishes after a delicious lunch. He watched the kids through the kitchen window, smiling as he saw them gather in the backyard. Mike\u2019s older sister, Rachael, was also outside, lounging on a lawn chair with her nose buried in a book.
\nToday\u2019s Meditation: Relax as you imagine sunlight warming you as you lie in a grassy meadow.
\nCreating the original bedtime stories and art for Be Calm on Ahway Island takes a lot of time and care.
