"Do you know what? This course is INSPIRATIONAL! I love the stories, the background information, the activity ideas. It's a fabulous resource. It's also very supportive, recognising that it's not always that easy to tell a story".

Sarah Colllins, Parent and Director of the Forest School Association

Watched first story and did a few activities yesterday. Excellent layout. Clear presentation. Beautifully illustrated. Properly brilliant content 🙂 just the kind of focus we need right now. Grounding. Fun. Inspiring. Silliness too. Just wow ✨ Thanks a million!
