Story Snack: One Small Worm, One Giant Universe
Book Worm's Story Snacks | One Small Worm, One Giant Universe What's it really like to float two hundred and fifty miles above the Earth? Join Book Worm on this out-of-this-world Story Snack and step aboard the International Space Station — the most extraordinary thing human beings have ever built — where everything floats, sixteen sunrises happen every single day, and six astronauts are living and working right now, as you listen, above your head. Meet Vera, an astronomer who has spent fifty years looking up at the ISS through her telescope — and has never once been inside it. Discover why orbiting Earth is really just falling sideways very fast, learn what the thin blue line hugging our planet actually is, and suit up for a spacewalk where the only thing between you and the silence of space is a helmet, a backpack full of oxygen, and a tether you really don't want to let go of. Together, you'll discover that seeing our whole planet at once — small, bright, and fragile in all that black — changes the way you look at everything.

Bedtime Stories: Savannah Sprinkles is NOT Tired
Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories Savannah Sprinkles is a light brown puppy with four white paws and a very important list of things to do tonight — and going to sleep is not on it. There's a suspicious smell in the backyard that needs investigating, a food bowl whose status cannot be assumed, a three-week-old mystery behind the couch, and a refrigerator making a sound that frankly nobody has explained yet. The old golden dog Rosie is already asleep in her armchair on Chestnut Street and is of almost no help whatsoever. Savannah works her way through the list with great dedication — and discovers, one by one, that the backyard smell is gone, behind the couch is just a dust bunny, and the refrigerator is simply keeping things cold. Eventually, on her way to investigate the hallway, she stops just for a moment to smell her favorite blanket. Just to check it's still there. The bed turns out to be extremely difficult to leave. Every Lauren's Little Bedtime Story includes:Calming Relaxation: Gentle breathing exercises to help your body relax.Original Bedtime Lullaby: Wind-down time as Lauren sings you to sleep.A Full Original Bedtime Story: A whimsical story read aloud by Lauren.

Fact Fly: How Do We Make Sound?
The Fact Fly’s One Big Question How do we make sound when we talk — and why does your voice sound so different when you hear it on a recording? Join Lauren and the Fact Fly as they investigate the surprisingly amazing science behind the most incredible instrument ever made: you. From the tiny vibrating vocal folds inside your larynx to the air from your lungs that turns those “little strings” into sound, this episode reveals how your body transforms a simple buzz into words, songs, whispers, shouts, and your one-of-a-kind voice. You’ll discover why high notes and low notes work like tightening and loosening guitar strings, how your tongue, lips, teeth, mouth, skull, and sinuses all help shape sound, and why singing is basically “the voice box turned up to 11.” Then the Fact Fly takes a wild tour through the animal kingdom to find out how birds harmonize with themselves, whales sing across oceans, elephants communicate through the ground, crickets play their wings like tiny fiddles, and bats use sound to “see” the world. Plus: the mystery of why your recorded voice sounds weird — the answer involves bone vibrations, air vibrations, and the fact that everyone else has been hearing your voice differently all along. Perfect for singers, talkers, animal-sound lovers, curious kids, and anyone who has ever heard their own voice on a recording and said, “Wait… is THAT what I sound like?”

Bedtime Stories: The Seed Who Didn't Know How to Grow
Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories | Original Music Deep in the forest, a tiny seed named Rue falls from her mother's branch and lands in the dark earth below — and immediately runs into a problem: she has no idea how to grow. She knows she's supposed to. She's watched her mother do it her whole life. But what if she grows the wrong direction? What if she gets it wrong? A well-meaning worm stops by, offers what limited advice a worm can reasonably offer, and suggests she talk to her mother. Then, traveling through the roots of the forest the way trees have always spoken to each other underground, her mother's voice arrives — and sings her a song. By the time the song is finished, something small and certain has shifted in the dark, and Rue finally understands that growing isn't something you figure out. It's something you simply begin. Every Lauren's Little Bedtime Story includes:Calming Relaxation: Gentle breathing exercises to help your body relax.Original Bedtime Lullaby: Wind-down time as Lauren sings you to sleep.A Full Original Bedtime Story: A whimsical story read aloud by Lauren.

Bedtime Stories: Where Does Hazel Sleep?
Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories Every autumn, Hazel the bear goes back to her perfect winter sleeping spot — except this year, a very polite family of hedgehogs has moved in and is absolutely not leaving. What follows is a tour of the wrong places: a cave that echoes her own yawns back at her, a hollow log she keeps rolling out of, and a fox named Rupert who answers the door with the energy of someone not expecting company. With a skeptical squirrel named Dot keeping up a running commentary, Hazel searches the autumn woods for the one spot that feels like somewhere-safe — and finds that the right place to rest was never going to be fancy. Every Lauren's Little Bedtime Story includes:Calming Relaxation: Gentle breathing exercises to help your body relax.Original Bedtime Lullaby: Wind-down time as Lauren sings you to sleep.A Full Original Bedtime Story: A whimsical story read aloud by Lauren.
