Tender Tales - Heroes and Helpers

Please note: These are mp3 files for immediate download and do not include a physical Yoto card. Icons and cover art are included in your download. If you’re using a MYO card, I’ll mail you a free label! I'm waiting for labels for this card to arrive from the printer- I expect to send them out Mon. 8/31. I’ll email you within 24 hours (often sooner) to get your address—thanks for your patience, as this isn’t automated. 

Ages 7+. This card is for children who love tales of drama and adventure. It may not be a good fit for more sensitive children who are easily frightened.

Heroes & Helpers is a collection of high-drama stories that are based on real events. Adapted for young listeners, they explore themes of teamwork, courage, and compassion.

A ship races through the dark toward Titanic survivors huddled in lifeboats. A youth soccer team is trapped deep inside a flooded cave as the world works together to bring them home. A chef helps feed families after a powerful underwater volcano eruption. These true stories, adapted for young listeners, step into high-stakes moments from around the globe. They invite children to recognize courage and compassion in others–and in themselves.
