Tales from Willow Glen

Meghan Moorhen & Friends

By: John Hill, Martyn Stewart

Narrated by: Amanda Hill

Welcome to Willow Glen, a quiet countryside place where small moments matter, friendships grow in unexpected ways, and every day brings something gently surprising.

Tales from Willow Glen: Meghan Moorhen & Friends is the first book in a timeless poetry series, told through the diary of Meghan Moorhen, a thoughtful young bird who loves to watch the world around her and write down what she sees. As she wanders by the lake, through the woods, and along familiar paths, Meghan notices the lives of her friends unfolding in ways that are sometimes funny, sometimes puzzling, and often deeply kind.

In these gentle poems, listeners meet a cast of animal characters who feel wonderfully real — curious squirrels, muddled owls, playful foxes, patient herons, busy woodpeckers, and quiet creatures who live just beneath the ground. Each has a story to tell. Some are learning how to say sorry. Some discover that things are not always as they first appear. Others simply need reassurance, friendship, or time to find their way.

Written in warm, rhythmic verse, this book invites children and grown-ups to slow down and share moments of calm together. The poems are designed to be read aloud, returned to often, and quietly remembered — offering comfort, gentle humour, and the reassurance that kindness and understanding matter.

Tales from Willow Glen celebrates listening, noticing, and caring — for one another and for the natural world. It is perfect for families who value thoughtful storytelling, nature-inspired tales, and books that feel both soothing and meaningful.

This first volume introduces Meghan and the friends she meets in Willow Glen, opening the door to a series that reminds us that wonder, love, and quiet joy are all around us — if we take the time to notice.
