    It was a Monday. Monday was the day grandma got her medicine. She took some pill that some white-coated doctor told us would keep her alive, if only for a little while. I walked to the pharmacy a couple of blocks away through the rain. Careful to avoid the divots and dips in the beat-up sidewalk where puddles were beginning to form. 
    There’s an old store that sells rugs and carpets between Grandma’s and the pharmacy. I wove through a small crowd of disappointed people exiting the store, beneath the broken neon red sign that read Jackson pet instead of Jackson Carpet, leading would-be pet owners astray. The red luminescent glow of the misnomer blurred on its edges through the drizzle and fog. 
    One customer had brought her dog along with her. A young, well dressed and well-accessorized woman was knocking in quick bursts on the wood-framed glass door of the shop. Seemingly not understanding the miscommunication the sign had presented, even after seeing a stockpile of rolled-up rugs waiting in the store beyond. Her white-knuckle fist gripped a long, fuzzy velvet leash that strangled a fat, wrinkly old Rottweiler. The ancient beast struggling to keep up, letting itself be dragged behind along the wet pavement like a sack of old potatoes.

    The mental and physical benefits of reading bedtime stories are now widely recognized. Kids get better at imagining things because they have to interpret a story when it's read aloud. 
    Children learn the power of their imagination, which helps them become independent readers later on with books that don't have pictures because their dreams are developed enough to draw them in.

Its mission is to eliminate the nightly battle of bedtime, find the rest that parents need, and give children healthy, natural development and a great attitude through unique and stimulating stories that guide them through a peaceful bedtime experience.
