Bedtime Stories

Bedtime Stories

At Glastonbury this year Guy read ‘A Little Bit Brave’ by Nicola Kinnear. Watch on CBeebies at 6:50pm tonight (June 28), then on BBCiPlayer

“The first time I did a CBeebiesHQ Bedtime Story it was for the rest of the band’s kids, I didn’t have any of my own. Now I’ve got one and they’ve got more. The book I’ve chosen is a favourite bought for me by my best friend Pete Jobson who also has a couple of munchkins. So this is a lovely way to do something for all of them and to be doing it at the best party in the world is a super bonus.”
