Girard's Journey: A Snail's Tale

By: Sheed, Kristy

A gentle story about finding your place - even when you feel lost.

Girard the snail is lost in the woods.

After enjoying a feast of delicious leaves, he wanders a little too far... and can't find his way home.

Tired and in need of rest, Girard meets a host of woodland friends - a stoat, a thrush, mice, a mole, even a swan - each kind in their own way, but unable to offer him a place to stay.

Just when he is ready to give up, a wise fox helps Girard realise something very important:

He has been carrying his home with him all along.

Narrated by Ted the Bear, this gently rhyming story invites children into a peaceful woodland world, where small steps, kindness, and quiet courage lead the way.

Girard's Journey: A Snail's Tale is a beautifully illustrated picture book about belonging, resilience, and the comforting truth that sometimes everything we need is already within us.
