Once upon a time, in a cozy little house nestled beside a whispering willow tree, lived a little boy named Peter. Peter loved bedtime very much. Not just for snuggling under his soft blanket, but because bedtime was the perfect time for dreaming, and Peter had the most wonderful dreams of all. His favourite thing to do before closing his eyes was to peek out his window and look at the twinkling stars high above in the dark blue sky. He would wish he could visit them.
As Peter snuggled down and closed his eyes, he imagined something amazing. He imagined his toes lifting just a tiny bit off the mattress. Then his legs felt light, and soon his whole body felt as light as a feather! With a happy sigh, Peter floated gently up, up, up, right out of his window and into the cool, quiet night air. It wasn't cold though, just peaceful and soft, like being wrapped in a gentle hug.
He floated over the quiet rooftops of his town. Everything looked so small and sleepy below, like a tiny toy village. The streetlights glowed like little friendly fireflies on the ground. Peter smiled, feeling safe and happy as he drifted higher and higher, leaving the houses far beneath him.
Up he floated, past the moon that looked like a big, friendly cookie, and closer and closer to the sparkling stars. The stars didn't feel far away or scary. They twinkled like happy little eyes, winking hello as he came near. He floated gently between them, feeling like he was swimming in a sea of soft, golden light. He felt such wonder seeing so many tiny lights shining just for him.
Peter didn't talk to the stars, but he listened to their quiet, happy twinkle. He saw colours he'd never seen before swirling softly in the distance, like painted dream clouds. His heart felt full of quiet joy just exploring the soft, dark sky and seeing how vast and beautiful the night was. He let his imagination guide him wherever the gentle air carried him.
After a lovely, quiet float among the stars, Peter started to drift gently back down. He floated softly over the sleeping willow tree and back through his window, landing softly back in his cozy bed. The blanket felt extra soft, and the pillow extra fluffy. He snuggled down, feeling warm and safe and full of the quiet wonder of his dream flight.
Peter stayed snuggled in his bed, feeling sleepy but also happy. He knew that even when his eyes were closed, his imagination could take him on wonderful, gentle adventures every night. And as he drifted off to a deep sleep, he carried the memory of his quiet, starry flight with him, ready for more peaceful dreams until the morning sun came peeking through his window.
