Our story tonight is called "Petrichor," and it’s a story about things getting greener as the spring rain falls. It’s also about a record player with a favorite album on the turntable, deer dozing in the grass and making a habit out of enjoying yourself.

Having trouble sleeping?  Join Yoga and meditation teacher Kathryn Nicolai for bedtime stories where nothing much happens to help you relax and sleep peacefully. The stories are a soft landing spot for your mind. Rather than letting your brain race through the same thoughts you’ve been chasing all day, we are taking a detour to a calm and comfy place. We tell the story twice and go a bit slower the second time.

You can find our book, "Nothing Much Happens," in over 20 languages. Request your local bookseller to shelve it: https://bit.ly/Nothing-Much-Happens

Our story tonight is called Pie Making, and it’s a story about an evening at the bakery with ready workstations and clean aprons. It’s also about an urn of hot cocoa ready on the counter, pastry cutters and crimped crusts, and the stages of learning that eventually allow us to play.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Union of Concerned Scientists. They work using rigorous, independent science to solve our planet's most pressing concerns.
