Nature stories

A living library of wonder and belonging

 

Welcome to our collection of nature stories—original tales woven with care to rekindle our connection with the natural world.

 

These stories are rooted in place, inspired by trees, tides, birdsong and bush tracks. Some are playful, others gentle and reflective. All are told with the hope that they may awaken empathy, curiosity and a deep sense of kinship with the earth.

Come wander with us through wild places and magical landscapes.

The Rainbow Butterfly

A tale about waiting, wondering, and discovering that sometimes the things that make us different are also the things that make us shine.

The Patient Cicada

A simple, rhythmic verse tells the story of a cicada waiting quietly underground until the day it finally emerges into the sunlight and sings its song. Children will love joining in with the fingerplay. Perfect for circle time, outdoor play, or quiet story moments beneath a tree.
