Hi, my name is Tegan, and I’ll be telling you a story.
The story is Dream Little One, Dream.
It is written by Sally Morgan, and the illustrator of the book is Ambelin Kwaymullina.
When Sun rises and light sings a gentle call to wake.
Soar, little one, soar through the peace of a stirring sky.
When Wind whispers and leaves rustle a welcome to the sun.
Climb, little one, climb into the peace of a towering tree.
When Bush blooms and flowers smile a chirpy graceful greeting.
Bound, little one, bound through the peace of a dawning day.
When Sea sighs and tides rumble a rolling salty song.
Glide, little one, glide into the peace of a wishful wave.
When River flows and water splashes a merry bubbling joy.
Dive, little one, dive through the peace of a perfect pool.
When Dust flies and insects buzz a story of the earth.
Slide, little one, slide into the peace of a loveable land.
When Rain drops and dirt gurgles a fruitful mucky hum.
Leap, little one, leap through the peace of a muddy marsh.
When Sky swirls and breeze blows a reeling whirling spin.
Twirl, little one, twirl into the peace of a delightful dance.
When Cloud huffs and shadows still a bright beautiful light.
Run, little one, run through the peace of a friendly forest.
When Dusk hovers and nightbirds mark a shadowy blue above.
Curl, little one, curl into the peace of a happy home.
When Dark falls and stars tinkle a tender dreamy sound.
Rest, little one, rest through the peace of a noble night.
When Moon shines and earth breathes a breath of deepest night.
Dream, little one, dream into the peace of a wonderful world.
