🌾🦊 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.

🌱 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.

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.
