In the very beginning, the world had only day — the sun never set, and the sky was always bright. But deep beneath the sea, in a world of cool darkness, night waited to be set free.
In this magical tale from Brazil’s Amazon region, we meet the daughter of the great Sea Spirit, who longs for rest and shade in the ever-bright land. When she asks for a piece of night to bring back, the Sea Spirit agrees — sealing it inside a coconut and entrusting it to three curious creatures. But when they can’t resist peeking inside too soon... the world is thrown into sudden darkness!
Join Mili and Abby as they follow this lush origin story through glowing forests, moonlit rivers, and the wisdom of a sea-born woman who teaches the world how to balance light and dark. And don’t forget the Lightning Round quiz at the end!
✨ A bedtime-ready story about balance, patience, curiosity, and how even night can be a beautiful gift.
