Story Synopsis
Lavender Blue is an old rhyme that feels like a lullaby. It repeats simple, comforting lines and uses soft colors and sounds to create a calm mood. Rather than telling a big story, it offers gentle affection—like someone singing quietly while tucking a child in. At bedtime, you can read or hum it slowly, and even invite your child to whisper the repeated line with you. The rhythm is the comfort.
Story Excerpt
Lavender blue and rosemary green, When I am king you shall be queen; Call up my maids at four o'clock, Some to the wheel and some to the rock, Some to make hay and some to shear corn, And you and I will keep ourselves warm.
