Show Notes
Barnaby is a little owl with big golden eyes and an even bigger fear - the dark. Every night when the sun sets over Whispering Woods, his wings start to tremble and his heart beats like a drum. But one magical evening, hundreds of fireflies appear in the meadow below his oak tree, and they have a very special lesson to share about courage, light, and finding beauty in the darkness.
A gentle bedtime story about a young owl who learns that even the smallest light can make the biggest difference. Perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who sometimes feel afraid at bedtime.
