The Moss Creatures: Stories from the Forêt: Stories from the Forêt (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780994383594)

"Each of these creatures is a small protective totem that recalls the roots of humanity and our attachment to nature." - Marianne Broggi

Journey into enchanted woodlands where moss comes alive and ancient forest magic awakens. Through the imaginations of extraordinary young writers aged 7-14 from Australia and around the world, discover the secret world of Les Peuples des Mousses - the Moss Creatures who dwell between shadow and sunlight, beneath fallen logs and within hollow trees.

Inspired by the creations of French artiste Marianne Broggi, these stories weave tales of wonder, courage, heartbreak, and hope. From guardians of ancient forests to tiny moss beings seeking connection, each narrative reveals the profound wisdom that sometimes only the youngest storytellers can access.

This anthology showcases the prize-winning and highly commended entries from Words of a Feather's 2025 international short story competition. These young voices remind us of the magic that still dwells in wild places, waiting for those willing to listen.
