About this listen

Travel across continents and cultures in this rich collection of folktales, fables, and legends, retold for young listeners. From African wisdom tales and Buddhist parables to magical adventures from Asia, Europe, and the Americas, each story shares a timeless lesson through characters that leap off the screen—and into young imaginations.

What you’ll find inside:

  • A camel becomes a gift of kindness in the desert
  • A rabbit discovers what happens when rumors spread
  • A clever Anansi learns that wisdom is meant to be shared
  • Trees teach a lesson about respect and community
  • A wife surprises her know-it-all husband in Norway
  • From Ghana to China, India to Korea, each story brings a different rhythm, voice, and moral to life

Whether it's a shy rabbit learning about friendship, a greedy brother facing the consequences of selfishness, or a shawl showing the value of reuse, these stories nurture empathy, humor, and understanding of the world’s diverse cultures.

Perfect for ages 5-10, this collection is ideal for bedtime, classroom listening, or family storytime.

Great for fans of folk traditions, global storytelling, and tales with heart.
