Come out, come out, wherever you are. I’ve been waiting for you. Welcome back to Miss Robins place where “Different isn’t bad” and kids can be themselves. This is a podcast just for you!

From time to time, I want to read you stories from famous children’s authors and soon to be famous authors just like you. It’s Miss Robin’s way of showing her brave, kind and different heart. Don’t worry, Stubby will be back next week.

John Epsosito or Papa E as his grandkids call him wrote this silly story many years ago when his daughter Amy was a little girl. He used to sing songs and read her books before going to bed. When his daughter Amy was about 5 years old he said to her, “We should write our own book for other kids to enjoy. “Let’s write a book about books,” Amy replied.

That’s when he wrote the story you are about to hear.

Do you have a favorite bedtime story?

This story is about books coming to life!

One little book wakes up in the middle of the night and disturbs all the other books.

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night?

I have!!

Instead of getting upset at the little book, the other books in the library join him. They have a party!

How fun would that be?

So now, without further ado, what you’ve been waiting for:

“Late Night Library”

Ready Set, Here we go!!

I praise you God because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

PSALM 139: 14-16
