The Duchess of Cambridge made a special appearance on TV on Sunday evening, when she read Jill Tomlinson's children's book The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark for the CBeebies Bedtime Story.
Composed and relaxed, the Duchess often smiled as she read the story, which is a book she remembers from her own childhood.

And with the help of others, we can often face things that worry us. Now it’s time for bed. Night, night, and sleep tight."
The Duchess chose the book because it reflects this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week theme of Growing Together.
