About this episode

A shy dragon named Pip discovers her true abilities while helping a lost fox kit in Fernhollow forest.

Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories Deep in Fernhollow forest, a tiny shy dragon named Pip has always believed her fire isn't real fire at all — just small, soft sparks that float gently on the air and quietly go out. When the big dragons all fly off to their annual Night Gathering and a lost fox kit is left crying alone in the fog, Pip and her fearless salamander companion Nessa venture out into the dark to help. What follows is a gentle, funny journey across slippery stones and past a family of very opinionated glow-beetles — and a quiet discovery that sometimes the smallest, steadiest light is exactly the right kind. Every Lauren's Little Bedtime Story includes: Calming Relaxation: Gentle breathing exercises to help your body relax. Original Bedtime Lullaby: Wind-down time as Lauren sings you to sleep. A Full Original Bedtime Story: A whimsical story read aloud by Lauren.
