The title describes this book perfectly....yet even though nothing much happens, each story is cozy and calming. It truly soothed my mind so that I was able to sleep well all through the night (even easily returning to sleep after a quick bathroom trip). I read a few stories each night and now that I'm finished with the book, I hope I will still be sleeping restfully.

All very easy to read and think about. No stress, no reason to stay up tossing and turning.
