A Pocketful of Pebbles and Poems

Kids’ Stories Book

By: Ayokunle Mathew Akinbi

Narrated by: April Goodhart

In “A Pocketful of Pebbles and Poems,” every walk in the woods becomes a breathtaking adventure. Join Lisa, a thoughtful and imaginative young girl, as she explores the world with her pockets ready for treasure and her heart open to wonder. Her ordinary day by Whispering Creek turns magical when she meets Skip, a tiny sprite with sparkling wings, who teaches her the secret language of the natural world. Each chapter unfolds a new discovery, a sensory journey filled with the cool touch of a mossy rock, the earthy smell of rain on pine needles, and the quiet hum of a world brimming with secrets. Listeners will journey alongside Lisa and Skip as they learn the stories of ancient stones, compose poems for lonely insects, capture a sunbeam in a pocket, and discover that even the smallest dandelion holds big dreams.

The story was delightful and interesting.

I enjoyed April's reading. She brought the characters to life and was enjoyable to listen to.
