Poppy and the Whispering Trees

Magical Forest

Poppy and the Whispering Trees

Theo and the Lost Pearl

Underwater Kingdom

Theo and the Lost Pearl

Theo had always wondered what lived beneath the waves, and one night, as he stood at the shoreline in his pyjamas, a friendly seahorse bobbed up and invited him down to find out. A shimmering bubble wrapped gently around him, and before he knew it, he was drifting down, down, down into the blue.

Ivy and the Sleepy Moon

Moon Adventure

Ivy and the Sleepy Moon

Ivy noticed the moon looked a little dim one evening, its usual silver glow faded to a pale, tired grey. She climbed out onto her windowsill just as a hot air balloon made entirely of soft clouds drifted past, dipping low as if inviting her aboard.

Oscar and the Shy Dragon

Enchanted Castle

Oscar and the Shy Dragon

Deep in an ivy-covered castle, Oscar heard a sound like someone trying very hard not to cry — a small, muffled sniffle drifting down from somewhere high above. Curious, he followed the winding stone stairs up, up, past cobwebbed windows and flickering torches, until he reached a tower room.

Freya and the Gentle Giant

Dinosaur World

Freya and the Gentle Giant

Freya wandered into a green valley thick with ferns and palm trees, and found herself face to face with a stegosaurus twice as tall as her house. She froze for a moment, heart thudding — until she noticed the way his big eyes blinked slowly, kindly, at her.

Space Adventure

Milo and the Shy Star

Milo's rocket zipped past planets striped like marbles, swirls of orange and blue and violet streaking by his window, until something caught his eye — one small star, twinkling much fainter than all the rest. Curious, he steered his rocket closer.

Daisy and the Friendly Shadows

Fear of the Dark

Daisy and the Friendly Shadows

Daisy used to think the shadows in her room were something to be afraid of — dark shapes stretching and shifting against her walls whenever the lamp flickered. But one night, a shadow shaped like a rabbit lifted one long, dark paw and waved hello.

Arthur and the Wobbly Feeling

First Day of School

Arthur and the Wobbly Feeling

Arthur woke up with a wobbly feeling in his tummy, the kind that shows up on very big days. He lay still for a moment, listening to the birds outside, trying to work out exactly what the feeling meant.

Elsie and the Tiny Someone

New Baby Sibling

Elsie and the Tiny Someone

Elsie wasn't sure what to think when her parents brought home a tiny, squirmy someone who cried more than she expected, wrapped in a soft blanket and making the strangest little snuffling sounds. At first it felt like everyone's attention had floated away from her and landed somewhere new, leaving her standing quietly at the edge of the room.

Jack and the Cloud of Wonders

Feeling Worried

Jack and the Cloud of Wonders

Jack had a worry that followed him around all day like a small grey cloud, though he couldn't quite say what it was about. It sat heavy on his shoulders at breakfast, trailed behind him at playtime, and hovered stubbornly over his head all through the afternoon.

Ruby and the Quiet Girl

Making a New Friend

Ruby and the Quiet Girl

Ruby noticed a new girl standing alone at the edge of the playground, twisting her hands together and looking like she wished she could disappear entirely into the fence behind her. All around, other children ran and shouted and played, but the new girl stood very still, very small, very alone.

Sam and the Brave Badge

Going to the Doctor

Sam and the Brave Badge

Sam wasn't looking forward to his check-up, especially the part where the doctor listened to his heartbeat with a cold, silver stethoscope. He'd been thinking about it all week, imagining all sorts of uncomfortable things, and his tummy felt fluttery the whole car ride there.
