Stories that make room for every feeling
The Good Soul creates thoughtful stories for growing hearts. Stories that help children recognise their emotions, find comfort in familiar characters and feel a little less alone in whatever they may be carrying.
Welcome to The Good Soul story world
Feelings don’t always arrive with the right words.
Sometimes they feel like a backpack that has become too heavy. Sometimes they appear as colours, restless birds or ideas too big to keep inside.
The Good Soul turns these experiences into stories children can see themselves in. Each one begins with a familiar feeling and follows a child as they find their own way through it, not always with a perfect answer, but with curiosity, imagination and connection.
Max and the
Backpack of Worries
Max is a determined dreamer. He loves football, makes plans for everything and tries very hard to get things right.
But lately, his mind has been filling with worries. They follow him to school, interrupt football training and grow louder when he tries to ignore them.
When Mum suggests putting each worry into his backpack, Max begins to see that thoughts can feel less overwhelming when we take them out of our heads, look at them one at a time and share them with someone we trust.
A gentle story about busy thoughts, opening up and finding a little more space around our worries.
