Publisher's summary

Film and TV star Keke Palmer tenderly shares the Ojibwe folk tale of the first dreamcatcher and shows how its message of our connection to the natural world persists to this day.

Bedtime stories are narrated by the world’s most celebrated voices and written with no beginning, middle, or end so you don’t stay up to hear what happens next. They're interesting enough to give your mind something to focus on, but delivered in a way that encourages sleep.

This title is part of The Audible Sleep Collection, exclusive audio experiences created to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up in the right morning mindset. New and free for members.

About the author: Linda LeGarde Grover is a member of the Bois Forte Band of Ojibwe and professor of American Indian studies at the University of Minnesota Duluth. She is an author of fiction, poetry, research articles, newspaper columns, and essays. Her publications include The Dance Boots, which received the Flannery O’Connor Award and the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize; The Road Back to Sweetgrass, which received the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers & Storytellers Fiction Award; The Sky Watched: Poems of Ojibwe Lives, which received the Northeastern Minnesota Book Award for Poetry; and her essay collection, Onigamiising: Seasons of an Ojibwe Year, which received the Minnesota Book Award for Creative Nonfiction and Memoir. Linda lives in Duluth, where she was born, and where she is currently researching intersections of traditional Ojibwe stories with regional Ojibwe history and the natural world.

Beautiful story

A beautiful legend about the history of the dream catcher. The details are so vivid I could visualize the the story as it unfolded. Now I want an original Ojibwe dream catcher.

Origin of the "Dream Catcher"

Loved hearing how this native American legend may have begun. The story was very detailed, to help the reader imagine it. The super quiet whispering voice of the narrator, was hard to hear. Not all parts of this story needed whispering.

Keke is Amazing!

Her voice is perfect for this reading. It is extremely soothing and her voice adds an almost sensual element to the story.

Great story, wonderful narrator!

I love these stories, I can so feel myself sitting around the fire and listening to the elders. I can also see myself as an elder telling stories.

Stories have been a significant part of my life for as long as I can remember remembering. I highly recommend these audible ""bedtime" stories for any time of day! Especially to listen to while you're sitting with your children, maybe doing some small craft that the story inspires.

Peaceful slumber

This is a lovely story and I have played it a number of times. The narrator’s voice is particularly soothing and the cares of the day slip away as the spider weaves. The story and the storyteller lull me to sleep every time.

Knocks me out EVERY TIME

I was not a fan or believer in sleep stories! I am now. The pace, the tone of her voice. I have listened to this story many times. I restart it every time, I have never heard the end ....
