About this story

Every night, a small green dragon named Dori waits on a soft cloud — not for thunder or rain, but for wishes. Children's whispered hopes rise like shimmering bubbles, and Dori catches each one gently in her rainbow-sky satchel. When a trembling wish floats up from a blue house — 'I wish I wasn't scared of the dark' — Dori breathes golden dragon magic into the light that drifts down to Milo's window. A soothing bedtime story about nighttime fears, invisible support, and the comfort of knowing someone kind is always listening. Ages 4–8.

  • Trembling — shaking a little because of fear or cold
  • Courage — being brave even when you feel scared
