Aya's Napping Stories
Not "close your eyes now" stories. Aya the river bunny notices how the world softly rearranges itself — and in that rearranging, sleep comes.

One Sleep, Two Sleeps
Aya takes one little sleep. Then another little sleep comes and sits beside it.
Little moving pictures
The whole of One Sleep, Two Sleeps in six soft seconds — Aya awake, then drowsy, then asleep beside her two little sleeps.
And Aya and the Pillow Hill — her head goes down, her thoughts go up, and the pillow becomes a hillow for the night.
And Aya and the Blanket That Came Closer — she burrows in until only her little face is left, and a sleep comes to glow above her.
And Aya and the Window Light — a squarish sun comes in through the window, and Aya sleeps warm inside it.
And Sounds of Whisper, Sounds of Silence — so many sounds come in array, one of them whirls Aya out of her nest, and then only whisper and silence carry her back to rest.
