Cassie and the Forest of Worries & Fears
Description
Cassie and the Forest of Worries and Fears is a gentle and empowering story from Season One of the When Angels Speak collection by Teacher Emil—created to help children understand fear, face their worries, and discover their inner courage.
As Cassie journeys through Earth, she meets a child lost in a dark and confusing place—a forest filled with worries, fears, and “what ifs.” Like many children, these fears feel big, overwhelming, and difficult to explain.
But Cassie does not rush or force the fear away.
Instead, she walks alongside, bringing calm, reassurance, and light—showing that even the darkest worries can become smaller when we face them step by step.
