About this listen

Follow Ava, a 10-year-old girl, as she journeys through the depths of the forests in Sussex, England, in this enchanting children’s bedtime story filled with gentle adventure and emotional discovery. Drawn by a flickering light in the distance, Ava steps into a magical woodland world where each challenge she faces represents a different negative emotion.

Through tasks shaped by Fear, Anxiety, Sadness, and Depression, this uplifting children’s wellbeing book helps young listeners understand big feelings in a safe and comforting way. With the guidance of a mysterious cat named Clue, Ava learns emotional courage, self-awareness, and kids’ emotional resilience, ultimately earning a glowing crystal that reminds her how to cope with and conquer these difficult emotions.

When Ava returns home and back to school, she uses her newfound confidence to overcome the worries that once kept her from fitting in and focusing on her work, making this a perfect kids' mindfulness and relaxation story for young listeners.

Written as a soothing children’s adventure audiobook, the story is read in a softly spoken British accent, specially designed for bedtime so children can drift off peacefully, feel reassured, and gently ease their worries.
