Episode 9 of Tale Waves – the storytelling podcast for younger children – is a tale called ‘StarBright‘.

Regular host ‘Hetty TaleWaves‘ introduces guest reader ‘Lucy Rockett‘ who tells the story of Starbright – the brightest star who has ever been – who learns that beauty isn’t everything.

We whizz across the Universe, meeting stars, spotting constellations, and all with the help of a comet called Bernard.

All of the stories on Tale Waves are fictional creations by Farnham based storyteller, Gilly Stewart.
