The Relaxing Bedtime Story of Maida's Li...

JOANNE D'AMICO
About this episode

Welcome back my sleepy friend! Just a few months ago, we ventured into the Maida Series world with the first book of the series called "Maida's Little Shop" by Inez Haynes Irwin. A tale that warmed our hearts about a wealthy little girl who is sickly and lame and finds happiness living in an ordinary neighborhood with ordinary children while tending her little shop. 

Tonight we continue that journey with the second book called "Maida's Little House. The relaxing bedtime story will take you on a magical journey with Maida and all of her friends, while  they spend a happy summer together in a sweet little house in the country that has everything a child could wish for. So lie back and relax as we continue our journey once more into Maida's little world!  Wishing you the sweetest of dreamzzz...

Your friend, 
Joanne
