A gentle story about finding your place - even when you feel lost.
Girard the snail is lost in the woods.
After enjoying a feast of delicious leaves, he wanders a little too far... and can't find his way home.
Tired and in need of rest, Girard meets a host of woodland friends - a stoat, a thrush, mice, a mole, even a swan - each kind in their own way, but unable to offer him a place to stay.
Just when he is ready to give up, a wise fox helps Girard realise something very important:
He has been carrying his home with him all along.
Narrated by Ted the Bear, this gently rhyming story invites children into a peaceful woodland world, where small steps, kindness, and quiet courage lead the way.
Girard's Journey: A Snail's Tale is a beautifully illustrated picture book about belonging, resilience, and the comforting truth that sometimes everything we need is already within us.
Perfect for calm moments, bedtime reading, and early conversations about self-confidence and finding your place.
Why readers love this book:- A soothing rhyming story children enjoy hearing again and again

Curl up with Girard's Journey and share a story that celebrates small steps, gentle courage, and finding your way - wherever you are.
