  1. Brookheart and the Forest's Sad Song

    FEB 13

    Brookheart and the Forest's Sad Song

    The forest is humming again, but this time the hum is soft and sad. Brookheart, a gentle creature with delicate wings, feels it first as a vibration. While her friends play near the Singing Stream, her heart tugs her somewhere else. Something needs me, she thinks, and follows that feeling like a thread through a maze. The path grows quieter with each flutter of her wings. Silver-leafed trees stand closer together. Moonlight barely touches the ground. The soft glow that usually wraps around the forest is fading, growing dimmer like a candle someone almost forgot to light. In the center of the quiet, shadowed place, Brookheart discovers the loneliest thing: an ancient tree so old its trunk is wider than ten friends standing together. Its silver leaves hang like sad tears. Its branches droop toward the ground, too tired to reach for the sky anymore. The heartbeat of the forest—that warm, invisible magic—is coming from this tree. And it's crying. Doubt whispers: You're so small. Can you really help something so old and big? But Brookheart has learned: the smallest acts of kindness can grow into the biggest magic of all. "I'm here," she tells the tree softly. "You're not forgotten anymore. I see you." The tree's branches shudder. The sadness grows bigger—but this time it's the kind that comes before healing, like finally telling someone how much something hurt. Brookheart realizes she needs help. So she flies back to get her friends—Clover the wise rabbit, Russet the cheerful fox, and three giggling hedgehogs. Together, they journey to the forgotten tree. They arrange themselves around its trunk. Clover touches the bark with her nose. Russet leans against the roots. The hedgehogs curl in the moss like a pile of love. And Brookheart places her tiny hand on the ancient bark: "You are not alone. You are not forgotten. You are part of our woodland family. Your roots keep us safe. Your branches shelter us. Your age makes you wise, and your loneliness makes you gentle. We see you. We love you. We always will." The forest grows warm. The invisible heartbeat spreads outward like ripples in a puddle. Silver leaves begin to glow. Branches reach up, remembering how to hope. Wildflowers push through the moss—one, then two, then dozens—until a circle of color blooms where only shadow had been. Butterflies dance among new flowers. The forgotten corner wakes up and remembers it's alive. Perfect for ages 5-8, this gentle story teaches children about: Noticing when something or someone needs comfortBeing brave even when you feel too small to helpAsking friends to help with big feelings or big tasksShowing love to lonely or forgotten thingsThe power of simply saying "I see you"Smallest acts of kindness creating biggest magicA soft, glowing tale about a gentle creature learning that you don't have to be big to comfort something hurting—you just have to be brave enough to say "You're not alone," and kind enough to bring your friends to help.

  2. Luna's Silent Magic

    Luna's Silent Magic

    Luna is a traveler with quick feet and a brave heart who never stays in one place for long. She has a gift for summoning animal companions, but more importantly, she has a gift for noticing when someone needs help. And Luna can never resist a worried face. When she arrives at a busy crossroads town just to get supplies, she hears shouting in the town square and runs to see what's wrong. In the center of a worried crowd stands Mira, a young traveler holding something Luna has never seen before. A shimmer-creature. Small as a rabbit, but glowing like moonlight trying to dance on water, like someone painted it with starlight and then let the stars move across its fur. Its eyes are closed, its breathing shallow. It's hurt. Mira found it in the grasslands, calling for help. She couldn't just leave it. But the crowd is afraid. "Spirit creatures bring magic we don't understand! Send it away! It brings trouble!" Mira sounds small against all those doubtful voices. Luna knows that feeling. But she also knows: a creature in trouble is a creature in need. And when someone needs help, Luna moves. The shimmer-creature needs a healer—Old Sage Whisper in the ancient woodlands. But the woodlands are far, and the creature needs help now. The crowd is growing restless, making decisions based on fear instead of kindness. Luna faces a choice: stay and try to convince the crowd with slow conversations, or do what she does best—run. Race to the ancient woodlands and bring back Old Sage Whisper before it's too late. Luna feels that flutter of doubt—What if I'm not brave enough? What if I can't do this? But she learned long ago that brave doesn't mean not being scared. Brave means moving forward anyway. "I'll go," Luna says to Mira. "I'll race to the ancient woodlands and bring back Old Sage Whisper. But you have to stay here and protect it. Don't let them send it away." She gives Mira her lucky pebble ("so you know I'm coming back—I always come back") and races away. Her feet fly over dusty streets, through grasslands where the wind whispers encouragement, into the ancient woodlands where trees reach toward the sky like arms trying to catch clouds. Old Sage Whisper steps out from between the trees as if she'd been waiting all along. Together they race back through golden-hour light. When they arrive, the shimmer-creature is awake, looking at Luna with eyes like morning stars. It woke up and showed the crowd it wasn't dangerous—it just needed a friend. Old Sage Whisper heals its wound, and Mira promises to take it somewhere safe in the grasslands. As sunset paints the sky honey and rose, Luna holds her warm pebble and feels that alive, electric feeling—knowing she was brave when it mattered. Perfect for ages 5-8, this magical adventure teaches children about: Taking action when others hesitate out of fearBeing brave doesn't mean not being scared—it means moving forward anywayHelping creatures or people that others don't understandTrusting your instincts when someone needs youThe difference between fear and understandingMoving quickly when time mattersA warm, adventurous tale about a girl with quick feet and a brave heart learning that sometimes the most important thing you can do is run toward people who need help—even when your heart feels fluttery, even when you're not sure you're brave enough. Runtime: 12:44 Part of the Fables Adventures collection - audio stories that teach young listeners that courage isn't the absence of fear. It's running toward someone who needs you anyway, holding your lucky pebble tight, and trusting that being brave is always enough.
