Life, Through Little Eyes.
Wonderful adventures, silly surprises and stories full of heart.
A little story, whenever you need one.
A "tenderfoot" is someone new to the world, a little wobbly and learning everything for the first time. That's who our stories are for.
Every Tenderfoot Tale is an original rhyming story with a gentle refrain to join in with, soft music and warm, cosy pictures. Some are for winding down at bedtime. Some are wonderfully silly, with toppling sandwiches and very naughty puddles. Others help with the big things: a new baby, a first day at school, a poorly parent.
A kind, curious little fawn who feels things deeply. She has a heart-shaped patch and her favourite daisy scarf.
Clover's brave best friend. A cheerful field mouse who never goes anywhere without his little green backpack.
The wise old owl of the oak tree, with her spectacles, lilac shawl and glowing lantern. She always knows just what to say.
A tiny dragon who tumbled into the wood one evening. She's scared of the dark, but her tummy glows like a nightlight.
Clover and Barley are NOT sleepy, until Granny Hoot takes them on a gentle walk to see every animal settling down for the night.
When baby Hazel arrives, Barley feels a jealous green feeling. Is there still room for him? There always is.
A tiny dragon learns that the dark is just the day with its eyes shut tight, and that she carries her very own nightlight.
Clover is nervous about her first day at school, so Barley shows her how to smell the flower and blow the candle.
When Clover's mummy is poorly and has to go to hospital, Granny Hoot helps her understand it's not her fault, and that every feeling is okay.
Pearl hides her horn under a woolly hat, until a stormy night shows everyone that what makes her different is just what they need.
Barley makes a sandwich. A BIG sandwich. Then a bigger one... and nobody says STOP!
Everyone jumps the sly brown puddle, until sensible Granny Hoot decides to show them how it is done. SPLOOSH!
Clover is patient with Bramble the badger cub, until she isn't. A gentle story about sharing and feeling unfairly blamed.
Ember gobbles her toast too fast, and every HIC turns something a brand new colour!
Our storyteller reads the whole story aloud over soft music, with every giggle, whisper and gasp. No grown-up reading needed, just press play.
The same story with the words on screen and only gentle music, for whenever someone would like to be the storyteller: a mum or dad, a grandparent, a carer, or a big brother or sister.
Slow pacing, soft colours, gentle music and no loud surprises. Every story ends somewhere safe and warm.
Stories to open conversations about a new sibling, starting school, a poorly parent and more, written with clear, honest, gentle words.
A new baby on the way, a house move, a worry about the dark, a grandparent who's poorly? Tell us. Many of our stories start with a parent's message.
