A Peaceful Night starts here

Calm Bedtime Stories for Children Narrated with Love by Grandma Hazel

Short, gentle stories specifically designed to quiet young minds and lower the heart rate. We focus on a slow narration rhythm and peaceful imagery to help your child drift into a natural, restful sleep without overstimulation.

Every tale carries a positive message of kindness, courage, and friendship. We teach timeless values through simple, engaging narratives that stay with your child overnight.

A 100% family-safe environment. No ads, no scrolling, and no noisy comments. Just the warmth of a grandmother’s voice you can rely on every single evening.

We embrace the art of slow storytelling. No fast cuts, no loud music, and no digital glitches—just a human-led experience that feels like home.

A little dream comes true: Sarah is live! 🐌📖

Many of you have asked how to bring the world of Grandma Hazel into your nightly reading routine. Today, I’m thrilled to announce that our first eBook is live on Amazon.

“Sarah the Little Snail takes a Break” is more than just a story. It’s a gentle tool for parents to help children wind down, foster empathy, and find calm after a busy day.

🌿 Why Sarah? Because sometimes, the biggest adventures happen when we stop rushing.

A Little Note for the Grown-ups

Bedtime is more than just the end of a day; it’s a bridge between the busy world and the world of dreams. I write these stories with a specific rhythm – slow, melodic, and repetitive – to help your child’s nervous system find its way back to calm.

In our Parents’ Corner, you’ll find small insights into why we choose gentle themes like Sarah’s patience or Midnight’s kindness. My goal is to support you in creating a ritual that feels less like a struggle and more like a shared breath of relief.

The "Gentle Routine" Checklist

  • Lower the lights: Dimming the room 15 minutes before reading signalizes the body to produce melatonin.

  • The Power of Voice: Your voice is the safest place for your child. Speak slightly slower than usual.

  • No Pressure: It’s okay if they don’t finish the story. Sometimes the silence between the words is where the sleep happens.

We believe that children don’t need more stimulation; they need a place to land. Our stories are intentionally slow, free from loud distractions, and crafted to protect the wonder of childhood. No cliffhangers, no noise—just a gentle path to peaceful dreams.

In my Substack, I share more deep dives into mindful parenting and the science of storytelling.
