A calming bedtime story set in an East African garden. A carved bird named Kidege is swept from her windowsill by a sudden wind. To find her way home, she must follow the calls of crickets, frogs, and owls through a dark that answers every sound. Woven with a Kiswahili proverb and the warmth of a child's bedtime ritual, this gentle adventure reframes the night as a living, listening space. For parents seeking a culturally rooted story that settles softly into sleep.
The Listening Dark
A wooden bird swept into the night garden. She cannot fly or sing. But she can listen. And the dark listens back.
