This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Mare is ten years old, and like most ten-year-olds, her days are full of ordinary things: a birthday party, a class presentation, a new puppy, a friend's unkind comment. But Mare is also discovering something else — that her body often knows what's happening inside her before her mind catches up, and that small, real things like pressing her feet into the floor or taking a slow breath can help her find her way back to calm.

Told across one school year, Mare and the Whispering Woods of Words follows her through fourteen everyday moments of worry, friendship, and growing self-understanding. Nothing is explained to the reader — Mare simply lives it, one chapter at a time, and children listening alongside her start to recognise the same thing in themselves.

Written by Patricia Vuijk, an educational psychologist, and Per Norrgren, a mindfulness teacher and founder of Deeper Mindfulness, this audiobook is a warm, grounded companion for children navigating big feelings — and the grown-ups who want to understand them a little better too.
