Simply enjoy
Each story stands on its own. Nothing needs to be solved or explained for a child to enjoy it.
Stories to grow together
Warm stories for children aged 6 and up
The Wise Owl Forest is a woodland world filled with stories and activities for children. Familiar animal characters give children simple words for feelings, thoughts and difficult moments. Most stories are designed for children around ages 6 to 9. Each story has its own age guidance.
A story can simply be a story
Sometimes you watch together on the sofa. Sometimes a child chooses a story independently. And sometimes a story opens the door to a conversation. Extra guidance is there for anyone who wants it.
For parents
Some stories include extra explanations and ideas for talking or doing something together at home.
For professionals
Child psychologists, therapists, educational specialists, teachers and other professionals can use the stories in individual support, a classroom or a group.
Discover the stories
Every story has its own age guidance and theme. At launch, one story is free. Other stories are premium.

It started at home
Why The Wise Owl Forest began
The project began at our own kitchen table, while we were looking for simple language for anxiety, thoughts, tension and what happens inside a child. At first, the stories were written for one child. Over time, a whole woodland world grew from them.
