It is weird to think how many of the stories we grew up with revolves around beauty and physical appearance. Great video!

[@relaxforawhile]

Yes I agree! i think it was due to the times they were written :)

When you never grew up with good parents that would do childhood things with you so now you have to listen to a video of a stranger reading something from your phone

Parents: You’re to old for a bedtime story Me: watches

[@pinkgiraffe720]

I played this for my little brother, but I stayed for me. How relaxing. I’m subscribing and will be able to use this every night when I can’t fall sleep. I’m positively exhausted. It’s a wonderful feeling.

[@relaxforawhile]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@coletonalft3248]

I feel bad for ignoring the fact that it’s for adults but I am 10 years old and I am absolutely in love with your stories so if I come on KZbin I plug my phone in and I just type in one of the stories I want to listen to you always pop up just makes me so happyAnd then realizing that you put these on here to help us sleep they really do help

[@spyscy]

Don’t worry, it’s only called “for adults” because adults are embarrassed to click on bedtime stories for kids 😹😹 this is perfect for anyone trying to get to sleep!

[@rashianand7534]

I felt sad searching for bedtime story but now that I'm listening to it I should've done this before. I'm gonna go and have a good good night. Thankyou ma'am❤

[@METHOTK]

You are truly gifted. You tell it with sooo much heart. Even without the video I feel I'm there but noticed the video effects are magical. I can't get enough of Thumbelina and the lovely sparrow or swallow I love as much as Thumbelina.

[@oneunicorn904]

I played this my son after I read some Winne Dixie for him. This really calmed him. He listened the whole time. He said his favorite part is the end ❤

[@jennelle.v_diamondpainting]

My therapist wants me to meditate every afternoon for 30 minutes. I have many meditations that I like but, lately I just haven’t gotten much out of them. So, I started listening to your sleep stories that are 30 minutes or less. It has been very helpful. I feel so much calmer and refreshed after I listen to you. I feel like I can get more done and take on the world. Thank you, for sharing your wonderful voice and talent with us. You have helped me through a lot of anxiety and panic attacks. ❤️

[@relaxforawhile]

Hello Janelle and thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful comment :) I am happy that the stories help you and that they refresh you! This means so much to me xo

[@Kathryn4488]

Tonight is one of those nights where I cuddle up with my stuffed animals and blankets, turn my fairy lights on, and fall asleep to this video😴 (you have such a relaxing voice that no one else can accomplish!!) Happy cuddling and have a blessed day/night!!!

[@britt4086]

My 10yo son listened to this for bedtime last night. He really enjoyed the story and said that he liked listening to "her really pretty voice". Just thought I'd pass that on. Thank you.

[@isabellahernandez5275]

My parents never wanted to do anything like that, they were always “busy” driving my siblings to events and parties while I was at home with a babysitter who sat me in my room and made me play by myself

[@fatimeconde2961]

I remember when my mom and grandmother used to tell me and my siblings stories before we sleep, though they were Analfabet could they tell us histories that make us to be a good human and think about other people. But after both of them passed away I have never been able to listen bedtime stories, I'm 18 years now but still can't get over to listen bedtime stories, and they passed away when I was 10 years old... I know it has been long but for me it's something I really miss every single night before I go to bed, to make things easier so I come her and listen those bedtime story Thanks u for taking your time for reading those stories and making me feel good when I feel missing my most important people 👀

[@celestemartinez4583]

[@n0tfr0mth1sw0rld]

Oh that's really sad but thanks for sharing. I think it's rare to grow up in a perfect family. Don't feel as you are alone. Now you are a grown up and can take care of what feels good to you and what you need yourself. Spoil your inner child :)

[@heranmouada9864]

Beautiful fairy tale story of Thumbelina. I know Hans Christian Andersen would be proud of his legacy the day he created his other fairy tales and shared them with the world. I love reading and listening to fantasy stories myself whenever I have the time. And as always, I never give up in magic or outgrow anything from my childhood. I do believe everything in stories is real, even if they are fictional. But it is really true.

[@iipixiestic]

your intro already make me fall asleep. tysm.

Poor Thumbelina's mom. Her daughter disappeared and she basically never saw her again.

[@ЕкатеринаГришина-с2б]

I’m thinking this every once, when reading this story for my baby

[@lifadysi9418]

I know! I was just thinking that. It feels like with how kind and considerate Thumbelina is, she would've tried to go back to her. This is a beautiful story, but that part really bugs me a lot. It doesn't sit right with me.

[@ninasrensen3464]

Love your voice sweetie💗I'm from Denmark just like H.C Anderson and I just saw his house the other day...We are very proud of him here in Denmark for all the fantastic stories that he wrote 🇩🇰😊Thank you for being such a good story teller 🙏

[@susanbaker7232]

Thank you. I have been having trouble with sleep for six months. Last night I listened to you story and did not hear the ending. Fastest I have ever fallen asleep. Normally I toss and turn for a couple hours. I woke up two times during the night and started the story again. Both times I never heard the ending. I woke up virtually in the same spot of my bed. Going to try it again tonight.

[@n123456j]

This makes me fall asleep REALLY quickly

Heerlijk ontspannen met een goed verhaal gelezen met een fijne stem. Mooi oud sprookje dat nog altijd een goede boodschap in zich heeft. Goed uitgevoerd met de geluiden. Hartelijk dank!

[@manishashilal5272]

Everyone here listening this to sleep and me listening this while cooking dinner 🌚🤎 Btw thank you for such a soothing audio 🤧✋🤍

[@lostkid726]

Thanks for this video! today my mom criticized my hairstyle, and i just felt insecure and believed what she said. Then i listened to the part where tiny felt ugly cause she was judge by the animals, even though she was beautiful. It made me a little more confident :) i would say i look normal(more on the boyish side), but my mom wants me to look more feminine, when i change my hairstyle to what she wanted, it just doesn't fit me/my personality. So just do what makes you happy and what you think is right for you. :D

Hans Christian Andersen.... he is familiar to me because he said my favorite quote "When words fail, music speaks."

Oh wow, I loved this!! I've never heard the original story. As a child I loved an animated version that was made of it. I watched it again as an adult a few years ago and STILL loved it.....actually I balled my eyes out, I thought it was so lovely 😆. I really enjoyed hearing the original here, Joanne. I love the story and I love the reader! Your voice is so kind and so lovely. Thank you!
