Welcome to Drift Off and thank you so much for joining me. I'm your host Joanne and tonight I'm excited to introduce another new chapter book to the podcast,

The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Lighten.

This enchanting tale takes us on an imaginative adventure into a world where magical lands exist

high above a mysterious tree filled with wonder and excitement. We'll begin tonight by reading a couple of

chapters perfect for helping you unwind and drift off peacefully.

A special thank you to our listener Karen for requesting this wonderful story.

I'm so happy to be able to share it with you all.

Now, let's take a few moments to settle in and get comfortable.

Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in.

And slowly exhale.

Feel the weight of your body sinking into the mattress beneath you.

Take another deep breath, and as you exhale this time, imagine all that tightness in your body melting away,

leaving you feeling calm and at peace.

And imagine now,

standing at the edge of an enchanted forest,

where tall majestic trees tower above you,

their leaves rustling gentle in the breeze.
