Some of you have shared that Scarlett’s stories are read at bedtime.
Some during quiet moments on the sofa.
Some on days when feelings feel wobbly and words are hard to find.
With that in mind, I’ve started recording the stories — read slowly, gently, and just as they’re written — so children can listen along whenever it helps.
These recordings are here to be:
- a calming presence
- a familiar voice
- something to return to again and again
They’re not meant to replace reading together.
They’re simply another way to feel held.
This is the first recorded story.
It’s for the moments when:
- feelings arrive without warning
- bravery feels far away
- a calm voice helps everything soften
You can listen together, or let your child listen quietly on their own — whatever feels right.
The recordings will always be free, because support should never depend on income. There’s no need to use them every day or build a routine around them. They’re simply here — ready when you need them.
As more stories are recorded, they’ll live together in one place, so they’re easy to find again.
If this voice helps your child feel safe, I’m really glad.
Here if you need it. Always.
