In this laugh-out-loud children’s story, Too Many Owls by Steffani Raff, a well-meaning wizard just wants a little peace and quiet—but every spell he casts only brings more hooting owls!
With playful sound effects, silly spells, and plenty of “whoo whoo” fun, Too Many Owls is a family-friendly story podcast parents will love sharing with their little listeners that gently helps listeners understand the power of being grateful for what you've got because it could always be worse.
Hey parents, here are 4 ways to Feel Gratitude at Bedtime:
1) Imagine one good thing in your life and whisper it to your child.
2) Ask your child who they imagined when prompted. 3) Model an owl breath for your child.
4) Gently touch your child's arms every time you hear the word "tingley" to emphasize the feeling of gratitude.
