This episode is a soft, cozy escape into the world of secret places. The real or imagined spots in nature where we feel safe, inspired, hidden, and completely ourselves.
Some are tucked under roots, some float in the stars, some are woven from vines and flowers, and some only exist in the mind… but all of them remind us that nature can hold us, comfort us, and spark whole worlds inside us.
Bonnie Wright and her little earthling guests take you on an imaginative adventure. One your child can listen to while drawing or painting their own secret place the whole way through.
