How the Naughty Goblin Invented Valentine's Day

How the Naughty Goblin Invented Valentine's Day is a free short story about Gobby, a tiny forest goblin whose greatest talent is making trouble — stolen chickens, torn suits, and flour-dusted bakeries are just the beginning. Everything changes when he meets Gabby, a goblin lady who refuses to be charmed by chaos. Desperate to win her heart, Gobby trades mischief for kindness, sneaking through town before dawn to leave chocolates, wildflower bouquets, and balloons on every doorstep — and accidentally inventing a beloved holiday in the process.

Go Away, Monster!

Go Away, Monster! is a short bedtime story about Elijah, a little boy so afraid of the dark that creaking floorboards and rattling windows keep him awake every night. Convinced that monsters lurk under his bed and in his closet, his sleepless nights begin affecting his days — until a fairy visits him in a dream and gifts him a magic wand. Armed with its power, Elijah faces each new fright one by one, discovering that the words "Go Away!" might be braver than he ever imagined.

Lucas and the Dark Forest

Lucas and the Dark Forest is a short bedtime story about a boy who loves exploring the woods near his cottage but dreads the dark. One evening, Lucas loses track of time and finds himself deep in the forest after sunset, heart racing and far from home. With no choice but to walk back alone, he draws on his courage — and begins to notice the glittering stars, the glowing moon, and the gentle chorus of crickets and owls that fill the night around him.

The Crane Express

The Crane Express is a short story about six fat, fluffy little birds sitting on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, dreaming of Africa and its famously flavourful worms. Too small to make the crossing themselves, they wait for help — first turning down a fish with dangerous intentions, then receiving wise advice from a passing sheep. When a great flock of cranes finally sweeps overhead, the birds must scramble fast to claim their place aboard a feathered express train bound for distant shores.

The Hedgehog that Forgot to Hibernate

The Hedgehog That Forgot to Hibernate follows Harold, a round-bellied, adventure-loving hedgehog who is too busy munching pumpkin pie and sipping pumpkin spiced lattes to prepare for winter. When the first snow falls and his friends are all tucked away in their nests, Harold finds himself wide awake and out in the cold with nowhere to go. Desperate and hungry, he turns to a kind local farmer for help — and what follows is a winter unlike anything his hibernating friends could have imagined.
