Why do we grow?
Quick Answer
We grow because our bodies are building and changing as we get older. Our bones get longer, our muscles get stronger, and our cells keep making new parts as we learn and play.
Why This Story Works for Bedtime
It’s comforting: growing is natural and slow. The story can end with a gentle sense of ‘rest helps you grow,’ only if it fits naturally.
