04:53and a little toy house

04:56and a young mouse

05:07And a quiet old lady

06:20Good night, stars.

06:23Good night, air.

06:25Good night, noises.

06:33Good night, noises.

06:35Everywhere.

06:48My own little special blankie.

06:51I'm the only one

06:52who has this kind of blankie.

06:53It's special

06:55because I even had it

06:56when I was a baby.

06:58It was ripped

06:59right here so big

07:01and here and here

07:03and here.

07:05But I don't take it

07:07like everywhere.

07:09Not even in the store.

07:11I take him to the bathroom

07:12but not in the bathtub

07:13because he'll get wet so much

07:16and then he'll rip.

07:18Blankie is his name.

07:22Hush.

07:22Hush, little baby, don't say a word.

07:33Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.

07:35And if that mockingbird don't sing,

07:38Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

07:41And if that diamond ring turns brass,

07:44Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.

07:46And if that looking glass gets broke

07:49Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat

07:51And if that billy goat don't pull

07:54Mama's gonna buy you a carton bull

07:57And if that carton bull turn over

08:00Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover

08:03And if that dog named Rover don't barge

08:05Mama's gonna buy you a horse and car

08:08And if that horse and car fall down

08:11You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

08:16I actually, um, turn on all of the lights

08:21Because I'm scared of the dark

08:23Well, you know what?

08:26You should buy a night light

08:29I got a little light to check

08:31What's anything in the bathroom even?

08:37No, but I'm a little bit afraid

08:40I check sometimes in the closet and under my bed

08:46Sometimes I do that too

08:48Because I want to make sure

08:50That the monsters run away already

08:53They're just made up

08:54People just do that to make television shows

08:57Like Godzilla

08:58That's not really real

09:00There's no such thing as a huge lizard

09:03That can step on every building

09:06If you have, like, a toy that's really scary

09:10And, like, always scares you

09:12And, like, it comes to life in your dreams

09:15You have to stand up to it

09:17Like, that toy is not even real

09:21Come on, you gotta tell yourself

09:24That toy isn't real

09:25That toy isn't real

09:27There's a nightmare in my closet

09:30By Mercer Mayer

09:31There used to be a nightmare in my closet

09:42Before going to sleep

09:47I always closed the closet door

09:49I was even afraid to turn around and look

09:54When I was safe in bed

09:57I'd peek

09:58Sometimes

10:00One night, I decided to get rid of my nightmare

10:07Once and for all

10:08As soon as the room was dark

10:11I heard him

10:13Creeping

10:14Toward me

10:15Quickly, I turned on the light

10:19And caught him sitting at the foot of my bed

10:20Go away, nightmare

10:24Or I'll get you, I said

10:26I got him anyway

10:29My nightmare began to cry

10:35I was mad

10:38But not too mad

10:41Nightmare, be quiet

10:44Or you'll wake mommy and daddy, I said

10:46He wouldn't stop crying

10:50So, I took him by the hand

10:53And tucked him in bed

10:55And closed the closet door

11:11I suppose there's another nightmare in my closet

11:16But my bed's not big enough for three

11:21I take a car to my grandma's

11:27It's so far in real life

11:29It's so far away

11:31It's all up in Scarsdale

11:33And dreams

11:35You just get there in a second

11:38It's like a movie

11:40But you can't stop it

11:42Unless you wake up

11:43I think that it's the feelings that make them

11:47They're invisible

11:48They can go in so fast

11:49They're invisible

11:51They go like

11:52That's it

11:54That's it

11:55You're right

11:55My name is James

12:00And I am blind

12:03I can't see at all

12:05First of all, I'm sure a lot of people would be asking this question to themselves

12:10Do you see in your dreams

12:11No, I don't see in my dreams

12:13Because I can't picture what it would be like

12:16I don't really fly

12:17Even though I've heard a lot of kids say that they do in their dreams

12:20I think I

12:21Well, it just seems like the traditional thing

12:24But I don't fly

12:25I walk

12:26And stand in a place

12:29I can't picture seeing

12:31Like you think I could

12:33But I can't

12:34Like

12:34I can't picture these little sparks coming out of my eyes

12:37Like scanning the surface

12:39That's not what I feel like seeing is

12:41It's like

12:41No, no

12:42Let me see how the little sparks are coming out of your eyes

12:44They're not coming out

12:46Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold

12:54I will always remember when the stars fell down around me

13:05And lifted me up above the George Washington Bridge

13:10I could see our tiny rooftop

13:16With Mommy and Daddy

13:18And Mr. and Mrs. Honey, our neighbors

13:20Still playing cards as if nothing was going on

13:24And Bebe, my baby brother

13:27Lying real still on the mattress

13:28Just like I told him to

13:30His eyes like huge floodlights tracking me through the sky

13:34Sleeping on Tar Beach was magical

13:38Lying on the roof in the night

13:40With stars and skyscraper buildings all around me

13:43Made me feel rich

13:45Like I owned all that I could see

13:47The bridge was my most prized possession

13:50Daddy said that the George Washington Bridge

13:52Is the longest and most beautiful bridge in the world

13:56Daddy worked on that bridge

13:57Hoisting cables

13:59Since then

14:00I've wanted that bridge to be mine

14:03All I had to do

14:04Was fly over it to be mine forever

14:07I can wear it like a giant diamond necklace

14:10I can fly

14:12Yes, fly

14:14Me

14:14Cassie Louise Lightfoot

14:16Only eight years old

14:18And I could fly

14:20I am free to go wherever I want

14:22For the rest of my life

14:23Wonder where that union building

14:26Daddy's working on is

14:27Well, Daddy's going to own that building

14:30Because I'm going to fly over

14:32And give it to him

14:33He'll be rich

14:35And Mommy can laugh and sleep late

14:38Like Mrs. Honey

14:39And we can have ice cream

14:44Every night for dessert

14:45Tonight, we're going up to Tar Beach

14:55Daddy will bring home a watermelon

14:57Mommy is roasting peanuts and frying chicken

15:00And Mr. and Mrs. Honey will bring their old green card table

15:04And then the stars will fall around me

15:09And I will fly over the city again

15:11I'll take Bebe with me

15:15Because he's threatened to tell Mommy and Daddy

15:18If I leave him behind

15:19I have told him it's very easy

15:22Anyone can fly

15:23All you need is somewhere to go

15:25That you can't get to any other way

15:27The next thing you know

15:29You're flying among the stars

15:32Once I had a dream

15:45That I met the Beatles

15:47Three limos drew up

15:52And in the first one there was Paul

15:55He looked really weird

15:57He looked like my grandpa

15:58And then the next one drove up

16:00It was George

16:01I don't remember what he looked like

16:03And the last one was Ringo

16:05He had this humongous nose

16:09And then there's this girl going

16:12Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

16:14And I was just holding my hand up

16:16And then he took out

16:17And he shook my hand

16:19Of all people who were there

16:21It was just so thrilling

16:23Whenever I have a really good dream

16:26I get this wonderful feeling in my stomach

16:29I just get this wonderful feeling

16:32You may love someone

16:36And you could dream of them liking you

16:40Like, for example

16:42This is just an example

16:44This is not true

16:45How about if I love Clark

16:49And

16:50This is not true

16:52Remember, it's just an example

16:55How about if I love Clark

16:59But he doesn't know that I love him

17:02So she could dream of me knowing

17:05And we get married

17:07Well, sometimes

17:08Last year, I dreamed about

17:16I loved Helen

17:17And I did

17:18And I do

17:19And so

17:20And then I dreamed

17:21That I didn't love Helen

17:22And I don't love Helen anymore

17:25And that was only in a week

17:27I didn't love Helen

17:29It can't be jazz

17:34It can't be rock and roll

17:36It can't be, like, jumpy

17:38Kind of turning music

17:40Or kind of bumpy, scary music

17:43That's why they named it lullaby

17:45Because it's lulling

17:47And it loves you to sleep

17:48Winter wind is blowing calmly

17:52Raccoons are haunting out

17:57Winter wind is blowing softly

18:00Sleep, my child, sleep

18:05My grandmother usually sings me lullabies

18:09That always end with

18:11Sleep, my child, sleep

18:13And I remember that

18:14So I decided to put it

18:16At the end of my lullaby

18:17Winter wind is blowing softly

18:21Sleep, my child, sleep

18:26Lullaby

18:35And good night

18:38In the sky

18:40Stars are bright

18:43Close your eyes

18:46Start to yawn

18:48Pleasant dreams

18:50Until the dawn

18:53Close your eyes

18:56Now and rest

18:59Lay your head on my chest

19:04Go to sleep

19:07Now and rest

19:10May your slumber be blessed

19:15Close your eyes

19:39Now and rest

19:41Lay your head on my chest

19:47Go to sleep

19:49Now and rest

19:52May your slumber be blessed

19:58Once when I was sleeping

20:01I felt like I was flying in the air

20:06I felt like I was a wave

20:08What's my eyes like

20:11Didn't let me open

20:12I'm like

20:13It kept on changing dreams

20:16I'm like

20:17Oh, let them open

20:19I just get a bad dream

20:21I can't do anything about it

20:23I can't control my mind

20:25Just to get a darn good dream in there

20:29If you have nightmares

20:30Or you're scared of something

20:31You just squeeze your teddy bear

20:33And then you'll feel better

20:34Dream catchers are for keeping bad dreams away

20:54It's a Native American thing

20:58The legend is that the bad dreams get stuck on the web

21:04And the good dreams go through

21:06They work best when they're hung over your head

21:11So they can get through your mind to your soul

21:14Grandma Phyllis always comes in my dreams

21:28It was my dad's mother

21:30She said

21:31I will stay alive in your dreams

21:37She never dies in my dreams

21:40My dad died

21:41And my mom has dreams of my dad

21:44So when your spirit is up in heaven

21:48You could go in somebody's mind

21:52And then, like, it happened to my mom

21:56Lots of times it happens

21:59They come back to people in dreams

22:01Just so, like, you'll never forget them

22:07Or you'll always hear them

22:09If they need to say something to you

22:11Inside your heart

22:13Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, little star

22:28How I wonder what you are

22:33Up above the world so high

22:38Like a diamond in the sky

22:43Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, little star

22:49How I wonder what you are

22:54Then the traveler in the dark

23:06Thanks you for your tiny spot

23:11Thanks you for your tiny spot

23:11He could not see which way to go

23:16If you did not twinkle so

23:21Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, little star

23:27How I wonder what you are

23:33If we don't have dreams

23:46We wouldn't be able to notify our minds

23:49Into wonderful things or horrible things

23:52While we're sleeping

23:54We can do that while we're awake

23:57But the question is

23:58Can we do that while we're sleeping?

24:01Yes, if we dream

24:02Dreams kind of help you really in life

24:06Really

24:06Because they

24:08They give you, like, clues of the future

24:13But very hard clues

24:15God makes your dreams

24:17So you can sleep very good

24:21And have a comfortable time

24:23And a nice time in your head

24:25So you don't

24:27Have to wake up in the morning with no dream

24:33It's called goodnight mood

24:38I remember about a bunny going to bed

24:42And I never knew there was a mouse moving around in the room

24:47And it was kind of like a love story

24:53Goodnight moon
