An T-Eagal

This gentle story about friendship and facing fears follows a group of woodland animals who notice their friend Bear is missing as night falls. Wren, Owl, and Raven search from the sky while Badger, Mole, and Mouse comb the forest floor, demonstrating how community care can ease anxiety. The narrative beautifully captures that vulnerable feeling when darkness descends and familiar comforts seem distant.

Wilson's rhythmic text creates a soothing read-aloud experience, perfect for bedtime or moments when children need reassurance about separation. The story’s resolution—Bear feeling safe once surrounded by friends in his cave—offers a powerful visual metaphor for security. Young readers navigating their own worries will find comfort in this tale about facing the dark together.
