Momotaro (The Peach Boy) | Fall Asleep With Me

The story of Momotaro (the "Peach Boy") is one of the most famous and beloved in Japanese folklore.

Born of a giant peach that was floating down the river, Momotaro was adopted by an elderly couple that was incapable of having a child of its own. Nurtured by his parents' unremitting love and care, Momotaro grew to be a big, virtuous, strong young man. Eventually, he set out to confront the nasty demons who made a habit of terrorizing Japan. 

Try, if you can, to listen to the entirety of this very special Sleep Story. I have Hanako, a dear friend and listener from Tokyo, Japan, to thank for acquainting me with this wonderful tale. With all sincerity, thank you, Hanako. 

If you'd like me to read a story that's very special to you (in a calming, soporific tone of voice, of course!), don't hesitate to reach out. Send me an email at [e-mail]. You'll be sure to get a "shout out" (more of a whisper, really) in the episode. 

Sweet dreams!
