🌾🦊 Avery and the Flickering Lanterns

 

New Featured Story

 

A heartwarming forest story about carrying courage through fear.

 

Join Avery the Armadillo and his brave friends Finn and Delaney on a nighttime walk to the pumpkin patch — where shadows flicker, hearts race, and courage quietly glows. When worry whispers “what if it’s too dark?”, Avery learns that bravery isn’t about chasing fear away — it’s about taking gentle steps forward, lantern in hand, even when fear comes along.

 

This softly illustrated story helps children (ages 4 – 9) practice Acceptance, a core skill from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Through relatable moments, kind humor, and forest-night imagery, kids learn that difficult feelings can be noticed, named, and carried with care — making space for courage, connection, and confidence.

 

Included in this resource:


📖 7-page illustrated story with gentle dialogue, reflection questions, and cozy forest imagery.


🌱 3-page Note for Adults offering guidance on teaching Acceptance at home, in therapy, or in the classroom.


🎴 4-page set of sequencing cards (image + text versions) to help children retell the story and explore feelings through play.

 

Total: 14 pages

 

Perfect for home, therapy, or classroom use, Avery and the Flickering Lanterns reminds every child that courage doesn’t mean being fearless — it means shining your light, one small step at a time.
