Spencer's Not Wanting to Share the Lead
Spencer Field Mouse keeps thinking about how much he wanted to lead the meadow game. A quiet moonlit walk with Haylee Prairie Dog helps the need to be first soften into a peaceful side-by-side goodnight.
Spencer Field Mouse cannot stop thinking about how much he wanted to lead the meadow game earlier in the day. Bedtime has come, but the feeling still feels tight. Haylee Prairie Dog walks beside him under soft stars, and the meadow slowly quiets around them. As their steps settle into the same easy rhythm, Spencer begins to feel that friendship does not always need someone in front. This Hawkins Hollow Bedtime Library story gently supports friendship and social-emotional readiness by helping children settle after a competing feeling without turning bedtime into a lesson.
