High in a purple mountain valley, a cheerful little red steam train is still chugging long after sunset. His wheels want to roll, his firebox wants to glow, and he is much too busy for sleep. Then Lumi, the gentle owl from the Moonlit Story Tree, offers a quiet secret: let the wheels slow down, let the steam sigh out, and let the bright light dim. As the little train coasts downhill, releases one long cloud of steam, and settles inside his wooden engine shed, his final journey of the day becomes a soothing path toward rest. With sixteen richly illustrated story spreads, a comforting repeated refrain, and a gradual transition from movement to stillness, The Little Train's Last Journey helps young children slow their thoughts and bodies at bedtime. It is the second story in The Moonlit Story Tree, a cozy picture book series for children ages three to seven and the grown-ups who read with them.
