High above the little town, the night sky is silent and very, very big, and tonight the stars have a new game: taking turns shining. One big star blazes while the others dim and watch happily, because every star gets a time to shine and a time to rest. Down below, quiet Raya hugs her stuffed fox Fennel and whispers, 'Sometimes I feel like I don't shine.' When little Sprig takes a brave breath and pushes her light — not big, just Sprig, shining softly — Raya finds her own calm: 'Maybe I can take turns too. That's okay.' A gentle bedtime story for quiet kids about patience, self-worth, and everyone getting their moment.

- Dim — soft and low, not bright
- Rest — a calm break after trying hard
- Turn — your time to do something, one after another
- Gentle — soft and kind
- Whisper — speaking very softly
- Relax — letting your body go soft and calm
