About this listen

Children will learn the wonderful qualities of love and wisdom (through an enjoyable story)!

A little girl, Amelia, hopes to help the hungry children on the other side of a (very wide) river. When her plan comes crashing down, she soon finds that a far greater plan was unfolding all along!

A positive and inspiring story with clear moral lessons.

Children will learn to:

  • See the best in others: Though one crocodile, Ray, is gravely misunderstood, his kind heart and good intentions eventually come to light! Children learn the value of seeing the best in people around them.
  • Help those in need: Children are inspired (by Amelia's loving example) to care for those in need. This is a great opportunity to teach kids about poverty and the value of kindness.
  • Make good decisions: The wiser crocodile, rather than simply seeing bright red apples, sees the tiny shiny seeds within. This leads to lasting change! Children are encouraged to think ahead and make good decisions as they grow up.
  • Keep hope no matter what: Children will be certain (just like Amelia) that all hope is lost, just before they realize it was only waiting to be found! This will encourage their hearts to never give up and always live in the light of hope.

What sets this audiobook apart? This inspiring fable-like story carries compelling moral messages. This could lead to some excellent discussions on why some children live in poverty or how we can best care for those in need.

This is a fictional story that can be listened to for enjoyment as well as inspiration for children and adults alike!

For: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11-year-olds
