Bao Bao Bedtime Stories · 寶寶睡前故事
一晚，包包抱緊佢嘅毛毯——Captain，坐喺床頭。窗外，月亮升咗上嚟。

「Captain，」包包細細聲話，「我驚。」

毛毯輕輕晃咗一下，就好似有嘢答佢。

One evening, Bao Bao held his blanket tight — Captain — and sat at the foot of his bed. Outside the window, the moon had risen.
"Captain," he whispered, "I'm scared."
The blanket gave a gentle shake, as if something inside was answering him.
Sweet dreams, Bao Bao. 晚安。
Every night is new: the story rotates around what your child fixates on that week — a dinosaur, a blanket, a shadow under the door — and it always ends where bedtime starts.
Traditional Chinese
The story itself, in the script your family reads at home. Sized for a two-to-four minute read — short enough to hold attention, long enough to feel like a real tale.
Jyutping, line by line
Pronunciation sits directly under each paragraph. If your Cantonese isn't current — or was never fluent to begin with — you can read it aloud confidently, every night.
English underneath
The full English story follows, so grandparents on video call can follow along too — and you always know exactly what your child is hearing.
Tonight's story could be about your kid.
