Moments to notice in the story
Small signals
can say a lot.
- When the classroom feels too exposed or busy
- That a child can need support without public questions
- When returning to the group should be the child’s choice
Meet a woodland friend
Miss Oakwood
Fuzz’s kind teacher
Miss Oakwood makes room for every little voice. With stories, play and gentle encouragement, she helps Fuzz and his friends learn, explore and grow together.
More about Miss in the books
Miss Oakwood offers a cushion, a blanket and a quieter classroom corner without making Fuzz explain himself to everyone. When something feels new, she moves at his pace: when he stops, she stops. After the moonboat falls, she offers time to rest, look or leave it until another day.
