A Note for Parents & Educators
Still Leaf Hollow stories are created to support emotional safety, gentle reflection, and calm reading experiences for children ages 6–8. They are not intended to replace guidance, instruction, or professional support, but to offer a quiet space for connection through story.
These stories support social-emotional learning by modeling empathy, listening, cooperation, and calm problem-solving through narrative rather than instruction.
Each child engages with stories differently. We encourage reading together, pausing when needed, and allowing conversations to unfold naturally. There is no “right” way to experience these books.
These stories are meant to be revisited, shared thoughtfully, and used in ways that feel supportive for your child or classroom.
About Still Leaf Hollow
So, Still Leaf Hollow is this lovely little story world that’s perfect for kids who really feel things deeply and for adults who appreciate tales that take their time.
Imagine it: nestled under those tall, swaying trees and winding paths, there’s a cozy community of gnomes. Each one’s on a little journey, learning about belonging, listening, being brave, and showing care. Their adventures? Well, they’re not about being the best or the fastest or the loudest. Nope, they’re all about noticing the little things, growing at your own pace, and finding where you truly fit, even when it feels a bit confusing.
And you know what’s great? These stories are meant to be savored. Some are perfect for bedtime snuggles, others for those quiet afternoons when you just want to relax. There are even some for those moments when a child might need a bit of comfort—without any heavy lessons shoved down their throat.
Still Leaf Hollow holds some simple yet profound beliefs:
- Small voices really do matter
- Feelings should have room to breathe
- Kindness is something we learn by watching others
- Growth often happens in the everyday, ordinary moments
