The Star that Stayed for a Day

A heart-warming story about learning how to accept good friends for who they truly are.

This is Estella. She’s got a glittering cloak that can fly her up to the stars.

Her face is pale and round like the moon and her hair is black as night. And she’s my best friend.

The Water Horse

This uplifting story about the healing power of nature shows how the unsettling experience of moving house can open a child up to new and magical experiences.

Amaya put the shell to her lips and blew. She played all the songs of water: of gurgling streams, rushing rivers, thundering waterfalls and the silvery hush of rain.

She played until all the clouds in the sky had gathered over the hill.

Jesse and the Skeleton Tree

A hauntingly beautiful story about the circle of life and discovering new hope through an unexpected friendship.

King of all trees, in moonlight shine bright,
We call to you now in the dead of the night!

Your crown in the stars, your roots deep in clay,
Bring us new life, before the new day!
