    Whatever suits the night.

    • Read to me.The storyteller does the voices.
    • I’ll read.Your voice, our paintings.
    • Just listen.Lights out, story on.

  3. Settle in.

    The words appear on the painting, and soft music plays underneath.

    A small sea turtle rests on a floating mat of kelp under a full moon, a pale fish beside her: a painted page from Kip and the Turning Tide.

Good to know.
