Lobsty and the Bubbling Pond

A Calm Bedtime Story of Water, Wonder, and Trying Again

By: JAY MIA

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Lobsty and the Bubbling Pond is a calm bedtime story set beside a quiet pond in Glimmerwood, where Lobsty the Lobster pauses, watches, and wonders about the gentle bubbles rising through the water.

As Lobsty experiments with floating leaves, sinking stones, and drifting bubbles, things don’t always work the first time. The pond stays patient, the water stays calm, and Lobsty slowly learns that trying again can be gentle — not rushed or frustrating.

The story unfolds slowly, with soft language and unhurried moments, making it especially suited for bedtime reading or nighttime audiobook listening. There is no need to follow every detail. The story is designed to be listened to quietly, with eyes closed, as the day winds down.

There are no illustrations.
Instead, children are invited to imagine the pond, the bubbles, and Lobsty’s careful movements in their own minds — or simply listen as the sounds and images drift by.

Rather than explaining ideas directly, the story allows curiosity and understanding to grow naturally. Water is shown as calm and steady, and trying again is shown as something safe and manageable.

Some children may listen closely to each attempt Lobsty makes.
Others may fall asleep before the pond grows still.

Both are exactly how this story is meant to be used.

A gentle bedtime story for listening, imagining, and resting.
