The Little Bird Who Learned to Trust | A Story About Finding Courage

What if the “safe” branch you’re clinging to… is the very thing stopping you from flying? 🌿🕊️

In this gentle wellbeing kids story, Little Bird is terrified of letting go of her old branch. She watches other birds soar, but her mind is full of what ifs — What if I fall? What if I’m not ready? What if the wind lets me down?

With the help of Old Owl, Little Bird slowly learns to trust the wind, take tiny brave steps, and finally leap when her branch begins to crack. This emotional, curiosity-driven story is perfect for talking about fear, anxiety, courage, resilience, self-worth, mindfulness, and mental health with children.

✨ Perfect for:

Cambridge wellbeing lessons

PSHE and SEL circles

Classroom story time, reflection time, or circle time

Calm, thoughtful bedtime story listening at home

Teachers and parents can pause at key moments to ask:

What is your “branch” — something that feels safe but holds you back?

What is one small “one claw” step you can take to be braver this week?

Use it as a kids story for emotional wellbeing, to build kindness, empathy, and courage in a safe, gentle way.
