Rory the Restless Raccoon
Does your child struggle to fall asleep because their brain won't slow down? Rory knows that swirl all too well.
Rory the Restless Raccoon is a gentle bedtime story for busy thinkers, night wanderers, and curious minds who just can't switch off when the moon rises. The seventh book in the beloved Maple Shade Stories series, Rory's tale blends cozy watercolor illustrations with a calming five-step routine that helps children ease out of their swirl and into sleep.
One dusky evening in Maple Shade, Rory swings on vines, counts every lily pad ripple, and chases exactly thirty-seven fireflies. But when bedtime comes, his thoughts start bouncing like popcorn. What if he misses the parade? What if he trips over his tail? What if he can't fall asleep in time?
Luckily, Rory isn't alone. His friend Benny the Brave Beaver introduces a gentle routine called D.R.E.A.M.:
D — Dim & Den up
R — Roll out tension
E — Exhale slow
A — Add a calm picture
M — Murmur a mantra
Through this soft, step-by-step rhythm, Rory learns how to settle his body, hush his swirl, and wake up ready for the Dawn Parade.
