Global superstar Billie Eilish reads a CBeebies Bedtime Story

Multiple Academy and Grammy Award-winning artist Billie Eilish has been revealed as the latest stellar reader of a CBeebies Bedtime Story. 

On Friday 19 July, Billie reads ‘This Moose Belongs to Me’ by author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers, on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer.

 Billie introduces the story by saying that as well as loving music, she also loves nature. She tells the tale of a little boy called Wilfred who says he owns a very big moose called Marcel. Most of the time Marcel is very obedient. 

 But one day, while deep in the woods, someone else claims the moose as their own, and Wilfred learns an important lesson. As Billie says: “we need to look after beautiful, wild creatures like Marcel, but we also need to let them do their own thing.”

“My favourite thing in the world as a child was a bedtime story and I would be upset if I didn’t get one! I had a lot and I loved them all
