A gentle rhyming story to help children understand big feelings and the strength it takes to heal.

Once a brave first responder, Mum spent her days helping others through life’s hardest moments. But sometimes, the things we witness don’t simply disappear. For many first responders, anxiety, trauma, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can feel like stones carried in an invisible backpack.

When the weight grows heavy, Mum makes the courageous choice to seek help. With care, love, and understanding, those heavy stones slowly begin to change… becoming feathers that lift instead of burden.

Feathers From Stones is a soothing, emotionally intelligent story written in gentle rhyme, designed to open meaningful conversations about trauma, recovery, and resilience.

Perfect for families navigating anxiety, PTSD, CPTSD and emotional overwhelm, or big life experiences, this book reassures children that:

• Feelings are safe to talk about
• Healing takes courage
• Strength can look soft
• No one has to carry their stones alone

A comforting bedtime story for children and a powerful conversation bridge for families.
