Studies have shown that developing an “atomic habit”—just doing a few minutes a day of whatever skill or habit you want to take on—can be more than enough to ingrain it into our lives. Therefore, we have transformed timeless, legendary stories into 10-minute bite-size chunks long enough to entertain, enthrall, and even educate the listener but short enough to be enjoyed quickly at bedtime or any other point in our busy modern days.

Ce livre réunit une série de courtes histoires pensées pour être racontées à voix haute à des enfants, notamment au moment du coucher. Chaque récit met en scène un personnage simple — un animal, un élément naturel, un objet du quotidien ou un phénomène — qui traverse une petite difficulté ou fait une découverte. Les situations servent à explorer des thèmes comme la patience, la persévérance, la curiosité, la différence, la peur du changement, la coopération et la confiance en soi. Le ton reste calme, rassurant et idéal pour accompagner un moment de détente ou la transition vers le sommeil.
